Egg Bound please help!!

[JustBabyMargo]

have you checked other old threads yet?

Yeah that’s where I found to feed her tums and soak her.

Can you feel an egg? Are you certain it’s egg-bound?

No but I’m not sure what else it would be if she was only laying egg whites without a shell or yolk

Her abdomen is very hard though

Update: we put here in the garage in a container with a towel on top!

set her in a hot bath tub and just leave her there. Until she gets really overheated you should just leaver her in a warm soak for awhile.

I don’t think she would stay. She tried to fly away when we were soaking her the first time.

How long do I leave her in there for?

It sounds like she may have had an egg break inside or be experiencing reproductive issues that are serious. She may have another egg coming that is blocking her. Can you see a vet today? I would check inside her vent to try and feel for an egg, either shell-less, hard shell, or more egg material. Antibiotics may be needed to prevent infection. The calcium in the Tums may help. Is she very weak or seem to be suffering? Baths can put them over the edge if they are very weak. But you can place her on a warm moist towel in a warm area, to try and relax her to lay. Here is an article that may be good:

I’m not sure that I can see a vet at all! Me and my sister are just trying to help her pass her egg and she did poop out more egg white stuff when she was placed in the nest box. But she jumped out because she is very stubborn. Can you do that with a glove on? She isn’t super weak she still tries to run from us and stuff. She didn’t like the baths or being put in a warm area. She is a very cranky old chicken.

Update: took her out of the container and this is how she is now!! Talking and looking around she is very interested in the chicks!!
