Egg Bound, or Something Else?

The "liquidy" noises actually sounded like they were from her crop area, and it was while she was moving around bobbing up and down to eat and drink, so maybe that was just the eating and drinking causing it. >.o But the more rhythmic sound she is making now sounds kind of more like a clicking.

Sometimes I hear gurgling from the crop, like a stomach growling.

Yeah, I think that was it, and I was just over-reacting because of the circumstances.

If she's contracting like she's trying to get an egg out, putting her in a nice warm room that's full of steam will probably really help her. Get it as warm and steamy as possible and leave her in it.

Did your hen live?

[Juise]

She did not. :C She seemed to be doing much better, sitting / walking / eating pretty normally, then all of a sudden one morning she was gone. I still don't know for sure what got her, but the rest of the flock is fine.

 

[casportpony]

So sorry.

Thank you, and thank you for asking after her. I think she went out easy, she looked like she drifted away while sleeping, so I hope that was the case. At the very least, I certainly know much more the next time I am confronted with an issue, hopefully I will be able to do more.
