Eggbound peahen? HELP!

Date sort Score sort
If any of you have chickens and are curious about checking for stuck eggs, try doing a gentle cloacal exam on one that's getting ready to lay.

I know this is an old thread.... but i"m having some of the same problems with my peahen... she has laid 6 eggs and is just not "right" on the floor. I have tried to supplement but she seems to be NOT eating.

Can I force part of a calcium pill down her throat ? I dont like the idea of doing it, but I dont think she is eating anything at all...

Thank you for any advice...

Yes, you can.

Give your peahens crushed oster shell leave it for them in a separate pan so they may eat it when they need to. Butter milk once every week they love it it will make them lay very strong shelled eggs and any bird with diarrhea it will fix their guts. It's great for chickens too. Good luck I have been raising peafowl for over 25 years never had a hen die from a stuck egg. Hope this info helps.
 
The information from avianweb.com may be good. But, I have to tell you that I had a horrible customer service experience with them that cost me 6 rare birds. Do not trust them.

Sorry for your loss.. it is always good to get more than one opinion when ya can on line it is hard to diagnose animals sometimes just by what folks tell you is wrong with them, things get left out that many times are important .. but it is all we have with our bird as most of us do not have an avian vet anywhere close by
