Egg bound with egg membrane

[Chirpy girls-2018]

She just passed some more of the egg. She does have fowl pox too and one of her eyes is swollen almost shut so I don't think she has been eating or drinking enough.

It's possible that the fowl pox is causing the binding. Since it's a viral infection, it can be spread to other fowl around her. If her eye looks goopy or the feathers around it look wet, she probably also has a respiratory infection. As for feeding her, you can try scrambled or boiled eggs (packed with nutrients so every bite counts) or try mealworms. For the drinking, you can an poultry electrolyte powder or clear, unflavored pedialyte [equal ratio to water (ie. 1/2c pedialyte to 1/2c water)]. If she still doesn't want to drink, you can use an eyedropper and put some on her beak or around her mouth and it will stimulate her to swallow. Do this slow and in small amounts because you don't want her to aspirate. Everything is running at a slowed pace because she doesn't feel good but she should love the warm bath.

She is doing a little better, she passed to rest of the egg late last night. She has been drinking on her own today when I wake her up. But she still isn't eating anything, but a piece of lettuce about the size of your pinky nail ever so often.
