We thought our hen was egg-bound
Issues:
Lethargic
Not eating
Not drinking
Seemed to have issues laying an egg this past Sunday. We noticed changes right after she laid. Today is Thursday.
Yesterday, a friend and I soaked her in epsom salt and warm water 4 times. Each time was for 20 mins
My friend felt in her vent and felt an egg and we figured she was egg bound.
We inserted KY and after 2 hours, at 7:00 last night, in the kitchen floor, she laid her egg.
She instantly started drinking and eating a little. We placed her back outside and she perched with the others for the night. She was even walking and pecking, before hand
Now this morning, she didn’t come out with the others. Just like yesterday. I had to carry her off the perch and she is standing there. Just like yesterday.
Is it pliable she is egg bound again?????
Her comb is red. Not pale
And she did poop yesterday. But after we had inserted the KY
