Egg bound Pullet?? GETTING WORSE. PLEASE HELP

[aoxa]

 Exactly, I hated loosing the girl but it was what I thought was best for my flock. I try & do whats best for my flock. I hatch & raise everything from my birds . I'm living & learning more everyday. I'm not looking for show quality just good layers. Its a challenge but its what I do.

Even if you are just raising for yourself, you don't want to pass that on to your next batch and create more issues and heartache. That's my thoughts

I think it was a fluke with my last one, but the one that passed had broken 3 eggs inside her vent before contracting an infection. I tried controlling her light to prevent laying, and that worked until I thought we were out of the woods (swelling had gone down, no eggs in a week and a half) but a week after being back, she just up and died. No sign. She was looking well for a while. Only thing I can think of is infection. She was slow that morning. Poor thing. She prolapsed during all this.

I'm sorry about your pullet.

I hope it dosen't go that far with mine. I'll be watching her closely this morning and, who knows maybe we'll get an egg!

I hope so.

Let us know either way.

I didn't think silkies suffered from this as much as larger breeds.

I agree its mainly production breeds. I don't think the chicken is egg bound but I'm not there looking either.

UPDATE:
Now it looks like her intestines are coming out! She pushes and her vent area swells like an egg shape. She shows interest in the nest boxes but never goes in on her own. I put her in one sometimes and she starts to make a nest but, hops out instead.

I put coconut oil in her vent this afternoon, and gave her bread with olive oil on it. She still acts normal. Scratches around, dust bathes, eats and drinks. But I haven't seen her lay an egg.
Is there anything else I can do?
