Egg bound

[gatorrr101]

We were not able to feel a egg yesterday. She doesn’t have much strength to stand or walk and now I think she may be ill. I work all day today and only manager there so can not call in so I’m trying to find someone to watch her and make sure she eats and drinks

Warm and dim will help her sleep while you’re gone.

Haven’t seen a poop like this yet

I would take her to a vet.

I am thinking New Castle Diease as the poop that I can see from your picture + the symptoms. All you need to do is flush her system with water via syringe for 1 to 2 days. Give her about 5-10ml per hour, this needs to be spaced so one dose per 15 minutes or something like that. Good luck!

It's not New Castle.

You can get it without going anywhere as my hen was sick and I didn't go to anything involving chickens or get new chickens.

Chickens suffer from many diseases. It will either survive or die from what ever it has. And some can't be diagnosed until dead so a necropsy is preformed.

I mean this in the nicest way possible.
It's not New Castle, I'd bet money on it.

If anyone suspects New Castle they should contact their state vet or lab and get their birds tested.

The only confirmed New Castle outbreaks are in southern california. https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/ahfss/Animal_Health/Newcastle_Disease_Info.html

Now regarding your fluid therapy suggestion. 25-50 ml per hour? Seriously? That's a lot of fluid and could actually be harmful. I did the math and that's 600-1200 ml in 24 hours, which could be way too much for an averave sized bird. Just google water toxicity.

Did you have you hen tested? If not, you cannot say what it had.
