First off,, we would have had no clue she was egg bound if it weren't for the fact she's a pet chicken we pick up just about everyday.
Her eggs aren't near her vent so she still eats and poops normally, she acts like a happy chicken from my view.
When we took her to the vet, they x-rayed her and said she wasn't just egg bound with one egg but 6, and that they'd never seen anything like this. (but we can't go and do surgery on a chicken.) I don't think they were expecting her to live long after the visit, but...she has live quite a long time after the visit?
She also seemed to think we were doing everything we could do for an egg bound chicken.
I did realize she does feel heavier then she use to at this point, so I assume it must be she has accumulated more then 6 eggs at this point.
I just thought since this doesn't really seem like an emergency case where the chicken will die if you don't act right away, that maybe there's the potentially other options for us to remove her eggs that isn't likely to show up in a search engine since this situation isn't common enough?
If anyone had any ideas that'd be great, I'm not sure what to do for her, the baths, olive oil, attempting to guide the egg and giving her extra calcium did nothing.
