Listed on the avian vet site and saw birds just now fowl.

I meant just NOT fowl.

I too have done phone investigations, calling vets near me.
Some will not have anything to do with anything chicken related and some "dog" vets will test their poop.

A phone call is free.

Absolutely right. Very smart to look ahead and research now when there is no emergency....being prepared....

So here's a question... What do you guys keep your chicken emergency kit?

Awesome. I'll read thru and see what I'm missing.

@Wyorp Rock
I can get pictures of it after awhile. As of right now I am leaving her be so in hopes that she will eat some eggs without us bothering her.
She smells like death. Going to soak her later, check out her wounds and make sure there's no infections occurring. I think it's just the discharge though that smells so rank.

Have a bad smell is not a good sign. Where exactly is the discharge coming from? The vent?

Yes, I believe it is the discharge that smells pretty foul.
She's been sleeping most of the day, occasionally picking at some cucumber.
I've just been trying to let her rest from last nights ordeal.
Thus the lack of a picture so far.

Is she eating & drinking at all? That smell is troublesome I agree. Have you applied antibiotic ointment to it lately?

 

[Stajemahal]

No. I am going to get some syringes so that I can syringe water her.
Then possible tube feeding. Hoping there's a syringe feeding alternative.
I think she is just in shock from getting rid of the bound egg.
If it is something like vent gleet then I have to stop giving her high water contented food.

Syringe feeding her water will help a little, but there's no way you're going to get enough fluids in her that way. Trust me. I've tried.
