Hi! I am new and having a problem. Lol
I have a chicken who is egg bound. I have been giving epson salt bathes twice a day for three days now. She is pushing stuff out, but not adequately. Her poop is yellow, so I presume the egg has broken. She has lame leg, I’m having her drink water with elixir and electrolights, but having to syringe it into her mouth. She IS however eating blueberries 🤷🏼‍♀️ but no interest in anything else. Super lethargic. Her poop smells like a fishy scent. Can anyone please help me with any remedies that they may know of? I don’t want to lose her.
 
Calcium 600mg + Vit D human tablet. Pull on her wattles, pop the pill in her beak, release the wattles and she should swallow the pill whole! That will help her contract to push the egg out. Put her in a dark quiet place and let her rest.
However, once the egg is out you may deal with an infection if the egg broke inside of her.
I will tag some more knowledgeable people to help if there is an infection!

Welcome To BYC

Photos of the "stuff" she's pushing out, of her and her poop?

I would get extra Calcium into her as suggested. If she's been like this for 3 days, she's not bound, but she may have lash material she's trying to expel. The Calcium may help with her contractions.

Do you have an antibiotic on hand?
