egg bound??

[pearsam]

I have a small Silkie hen, she had been having trouble walking and I had been massaging her leg thinking she'd gotten a toenail hung in the carpet. I massaged her leg and abdomen today and she laid 4 eggs. She's half the size of the other hen, probably not even a pound. She's crying a little after 4 eggs. How many eggs could be inside?

were they normal looking eggs? I've never heard of a chicken laying 4, 3 or 2 eggs a day.

I have never heard of this before.

They look fine but she's still laying in the same place crying a little.

I think shes OKay, shes up eating and running around after number 5.

Have you looked at her vent? she may be prolasped, which means some of the inside is hanging out, you need to check and make sure it's not. I'm sure after laying 4 eggs she isn't feeling so hot. you could also give her a nice warm soak making sure she doesn't chill and she is completely dry before going out side.

your saying she has laid 5 eggs in one day?
