Egg bound

[Debjay01]

egg laying issue​

In the morning she looks better found a weird egg in the container we have isolated her in. Any idea what to do for my chicken. I believe her to be a Starlight chicken.

Is there a hard shelled egg wrapped in those membranes? Can you open that up?

She "looks better" now. What did she look like before? Hunched and having a hard time laying an egg?

If she's back to normal, is pooping/eating/drinking and is not getting bullied/picked on, then I'd put her back with her flock.

I'd give her Calcium Citrate with D3 for 5 days. You can find Calcium Citrate with D3 in the vitamin aisle of stores like Walmart, CVS, etc. Give 1 tablet daily, just pull down on her wattles, pop the tablet into the beak and let her swallow.

She was very lethargic almost looked like she had pasty butt and in the morning she laid an egg with it with like a paper machine membrane around it she is not laid one today.If she lays a normal egg today I will put her back with flock. Her vent looks a little irritated so I have her isolated inside in a big container with a nesting box.

How is she doing now?

She hates being isolated so she is acting fine I think she is just egg bound and am giving her calcium and a bath hopefully tonight she will pass a egg

Can you feel an egg?
Is she pooping?

Unless they are in a lot of distress and are being picked on, I leave my hens with their flock and just take them out for short periods of time when they need meds/treatment.

Yes thank you I returned her to her flock so maybe she will lay an egg. Gave her the calcium pills this morning am keeping an eye on her . But thank you for all your help
