Yes, her crop was completely flat and she was fine yesterday night.Sorry to hear about Peaches. Sounds like egg binding, but how was her crop this morning? Was it flat?
I have a chicken very similar to peaches that doesn’t lay eggs with solid shells no matter how much calcium we give. It can be tough when she has egg binding episodes. It’s possible peaches has another egg backed up. How much calcium did you give? Do you see evidence of an egg breaking inside of her?
Give her a break from the heat and take her inside for a bit. If you truly think she is overheating, wet her legs down with cool water, not ice cold water. Try to get her hydrated by providing electrolyte water. Hold it up and dip her beak it to it gently or Dribble a little on the tip of the beak.
What would I be looking for to see if she has any symptoms for egg binding? I gave her one tablet of vitamin d3 and calcium.
She has been inside since 6AM and its almost 6PM right now. I have given her lots of water with electrolytes she has not improved at all..
