My one year old Brahma hen is showing signs of egg binding. Her bum is very swollen, and red. I have read the posts and did the glove with mineral oil. Can't feel an egg, have gently pushed on tummy, and still no luck. She has normal poops and is eating and drinking. She sits like she's trying to lay an egg, and her vent is pulsing. I did the glove test, no luck. I also fed her some yogurt, and warm Layena pellets with some cod liver oil. I don't know what else to do. She's the only one in the flock acting like this. My chickens all eat Layena pellets, have crushed oyster shell, and Purina scratch.
Don't know if she's had egg problems since I have 18 hens and most lay brown eggs. Have had one or two with wrinkled eggs but not a brown one. Her breathing is rapid due to stress and you can hear some strange noises like crackles but eyes clear, nasal clear, etc. I am going to do warm bath now but any other advice? Thanks.
