Egg bound

[AwesomelyWicked]

I have my first egg bound chicken. I have tried epsom salt warm baths but it’s not working and I don’t know what to do next. Please any suggestions or help, I don’t want her to go anywhere.
Very nervous!!

Sorry about your chicken, how is she doing?

Any time you suspect egg binding immediately administer 600 mg of human calcium plus D3 vitamin. You can get it at grocery and drug stores in the vitamin isle. Just pull her wattles down and pop one in her beak, let go and she’ll swallow. Continue to give one per day for a few days after the egg binding incident. Try to always have some on hand for your hens.
