How long should I let her suffer?

[Sillystunt]

oh no

I am not sure what to do? My mom's parraket had this happen and it was egg bound.

MODERATORS WHERE ARE YOU!

I hope she is ok, try some poly vit from the drug store to perk her up but the egg thing

Advice from Glenda Haywood: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=194498

egg bound hen and get the items needed
such as putting several eye droppers of olive oil any kind of oil
go to the vent and on the left side stick the eye dropper in and release oil
there was one really good one on here yesterday
it probably is on pg 2 or 3
as it was just listed by byc member on how she accomplisewd the egg bound hen releasing the egg

Do the same thing on right side

do this at least 4 times
to get oil in the vent to help the hen release the egg

also after oil treatment set her for a couple of hrs in the kitchen sink in warm water and help her body to release the egg

it may take several hrs and keep water warm not cold
any questions email me

HELPING A EGG BOUND PULLET
Glenda L Heywood

I was emailed this thought on helping an egg bound pullet to which I added also some help

Fancier emailed this:
I have not LOST pullets to eggbound lately.Neil Mahaffey told me how to
save them.Hold them and gently squeze till you can see the egg shell.take a
shringe and gently pierce the shell and slowly drain
the yoke.The shell will
remove fairly easy after the presure is relieved.I removed one this afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GLH REPLIED
Yes Neil is correct on proceedure only thing to this,
IS to please put some OLIVE OILl or
some kind of oil in with eye dropper first.
putting eye dropper on each side of vent before pushing egg in to sight.

Also I used a eye drooper and filled with oil and inserted it to the left of the vent and squeezed the oil into the bird. Then take a dropper full of oil and insert to right of vent and squeeze oil in.

And try to bring the fingers up under the egg and not to squeeze the birds tender sides.
you can break the bones in the vent doing this.

Also when the but end of the egg appears just take a
large darning needle and poke secveral holes in the end of the egg and smush easy like on the side of the egg and remove the white and yold
or use the syringe to suck the yolk and white out

and wipe with a a paper towel. now take a large twizers and pull gently the whole egg shell out.
DO NOT leave any egg shell in the vent

then put some kind of oil in vent again for healing this bird needs literal oil with eye dropper put in the vent​
