HELP!! My Bantam hen acts like there's an egg stuck in her!

If you do manage to get the egg out, you'll always want to keep an eye on her to make sure it doesn't happen again. Some breeds and/or individual chickens are prone to it, and it can happen again.

I DID IT!! Well.....SHE did it! WE did it!!!!

Lol! I got her out of the cage the other day to soak her in the warm water again. I always LOOKED at her to see if I could see any change in her vent. That's when I saw egg shell sticking out of her! Bless her heart..... I took her outside and sat her in my lap. I had a small pair of tweezers and she sat very calmly and allowed me to pull these pieces of shell out of her. After a few pieces were removed, she started pushing it out as I was pulling......it ALL came out in one final push! She IMMEDIATELY began talking to me and acting better! She ate and drank ALOT. Not abnormal for Fatty-Fatty on her BEST day let alone one of her worst! Lol! I've kept her in the house for 2 more days so she can get her strength backup and have given her some vitamins and antibiotics in case of infection. Today we got up and my Fatty-Fatty greeted me with her morning cackle and lovingly bit my husband. I KNEW then that she was gonna be JUST FINE! Tomorrow, I will put her back in her cage with the others and PRAY that I NEVER have to do this again! BUT.......if I do......I am MUCH more wise on the situation and will know how to handle it thanks to every ones suggestions and advice! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! A thousand TIMES......THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

My FATTY-FATTY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!
