//Help// Egg Peritonitis? Or Egg bound?

[fatimastic]

With poop like that, yes, that's what I would do. Continue giving her calcium each day for a few more days, as well.

I decided to give the whole flock some antibiotic because another hen had some difficulty laying and laid a shell less egg. Which they all devoured because I was too late to stop them.
After 3 days of dosage, nearly all of their droppings were yellow/mustardy. Even my mother noticed that the lawn had a lot of yellow poo. And I couldn't smell the pungent smell of cecal poo from one of the droppings.
Any idea what that indicates?

Eating a shell-less egg won't cause bacterial infection. No need to treat any hen that may not have had an egg collapse and break inside her.

There is no reason for yellow poop from the well chickens other than they may have been eating something yellow or have been given B-vitamins, which do turn poop yellow.

They have been eating a lot of mangoes since it's mango season here. Other than the hen I started this forum from, they all feel okay. Her andomen is still hard and not squishy.

Sounds like mangos might be the culprit here. Although I recommend calcium. Oyster shells, human calcium tablets, or liquid calcium might to the trick. Your chickens sound like they have a calcium deficiency.

Your chicken in particular sounds like she's trying to pass a egg. A warm water bath and rest can help.

We couldn't find oyster shells here. Will this be okay?
