Egg bound??

[kkm51]

Have a chicken that was egg bound a few weeks ago. Was able to remove the egg safely. She is now acting like she is egg bound again but I cannot feel an egg. I have soaked her in warm epsom salt and she likes this but it doesn't seem to be helping her. She has diarrhea which is mostly white but sometimes has dark color in it too. She is not eating or drinking very much. Has been going on for a couple of days. Anyone have any experience with this?

Have you given her any calcium with vitamin D? If not I would give a human tablet orally in the back of her beak, or in a small amount of egg or snack that she will take. You could place her in a warm humid bathroom on a warm towel to sit, and hopefully she will pass the egg. Make sure that she is drinking. Has she been a regular good layer? Do you feed layer feed and have crushed oyster shell available? Here is a good link to read:

Thanks for your reply. I don't think she has an egg. I have felt inside and don't feel anything. Think it might be peritonitis. She will drink and eat just a little at a time. Have soaked her several times in warm epsom salt water. Doesn't seem to help. She was egg bound a few weeks ago and we removed the egg. She is still alert but can tell it hurts when she pushes.

What color is her poop?

Mine is normal, dark brownish green with a white top. Sometimes a littler watery. I just noticed this thread was posted end of Feb. How is your chicken doing now kkm51?
