I just wanted to post my pictures of one of my hens, shes really swollen, has been having her poo build up on her feathers, and she has no energy :[

Here is a picture I took of her a few minutes ago, I gave her a washing but not in warm water like I've read to do for egg-bound hens.
I just want a confirm that this is indeed an egg-bound hen.
Thanks~




So far she has eatting a small bite of bread, and has pooped really really watery poop.
I had to bring her inside and put her under a lamp because I saw a few ants near/on her and she feels cold.



Does anyone have any suggestions?
I know if shes egg-bound I need to soak her in warm water for 30 mins.

Any other tips?

Thank you for replying...
I will certainly try soaking her again!
She seems to be alert, eating, and drinking.

He poop is still really watery and I tried taking her outside to walk in the grass some but she acts like she cant walk anymore.. just crawls and uses her wings kinda.

Will I be able to get the blckage out if I do feel some in her? Or is there a certain why I have to remove it?
 
Sorry I forgot to close this topic.

She passed away.
The soaking didn't help her :[ I never felt anything similar to an egg in her. So I still dont know the cause of death :[

Thanks for your replies!
