Egg bound

[staceyj]

We need @rebrascora for the mareks info
And @Eggcessive and @Wyorp Rock for the reproductive issue.

 

[chickens really]

Definitely need more information...

Being a poor layer, not laying, waddling, can be a sign of internal laying or egg yolk peritonitis. It can look like egg binding. Here are a couple of articles that can list signs to look for, and keep in mind they can vary in each hen:

Can you please post a picture of her poop as watery is a big symptom of NCD and plus she isn't very active.

Can you feel the egg?
From the outside or the inside?
Is she prolapsing?
Is she trying to pass it?
Is she tame enough to lie her on her side? (Takes the pressure off)

If you have some kind of personal lubricant or even olive oil I’d try squirting some just inside her vent, you can gently insert a finger and work it around in there like you’re greasing a muffin tin.
Might help it slip through.

Sorry in advance but her vent to me seemed pretty healthy other than the fact she seems to be trying to get a egg out. If something more was going on would it be red and swollen. I’m a new chicken owner and want to eliminate as much as possible.

Next time she does I will take a picture. Last two times was what looked like grass and water and more like sprayed out. I didn’t see yellow or red.

Green poop that is watery really concerns me as I had a hen with NCD that look egg bound and also was lethargic

How can it be treated?

All I did was flush her system with water to get the toxins out which can work with other illnesses
