Egg bound ideas??????

[chickenscratch]

I posted the other day about my eggbound hen. I soaked her in a warm bath, massaged underside, put olive oil down her throat 3 days in a row. She seems a bit better in her energy and shes drinking and eating a bit. I even stuck my gloved finger up her but couldn't feel it.
Should I shoot olive oil up her butt?

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yesI would take a eye dropper and fill with olive oil and put it in the side of the vent
then take another eye dropper full and put on the other side of the vent

then put your fingers on the under side of her
behind where he vent is and push upward easy like
if this does not make an egg appear she is
the absorbing the egg in her body
and there is a calcium treatment that you can get from the vet for females absorbing their eggs

If an egg appears you can take a needle and make holes in the egg shell
and take a syringe with out needle on it and suck out the yolk and white
then take a large twizzers and pull gently the egg shell ALL out
do not leave any egg shell in the vent of the hen

Are you sure she is egg boubd? Because if she isn't it might not be a good idea to go poking around in her vent. I would just grease up the vent with some vaseline after you soak her again in a warm bath. Hope she gets well!
