My chicken has been roosting for 3 days. I checked her this morning and I could see an egg "crowning." I gave her some water and ended up disturbing her so much that she got up, walked around and ate, so I knew she wasn't too bad off.
How long can a chicken try to lay an egg before it gets serious?
What can I do to help in such a case? My chicken "help book" suggests breaking the egg inside her, but I am too afraid of complications that could result from this to try it.
Thanks for any and all advice. Sharon
