Lash Egg??

[tacosta1009]

Can you cut it open, so we can see what's inside?

I did, I will try to take a picture of it by digging the pad out of the trash. When I opened it was was thick, much thicker than a normal egg. There was some egg white oozing, no yolk, it was "membraney" and stinky. It also had like balls of tissue attached to the skin.

Honestly, I didn't even know what a lash egg was when I first saw it-- then, I started to research. Any way, I dug it up. See attached.

@Wyorp Rock Thank you! I started her on Tylan 50 while I waited for the AMYTL. I chased down one of those "online vets" while I was scrambling and that is what he recommended. I first noticed a soft egg in my nest box that belonged to one of my two Jersey Giants. Then, there was the whole egg white and egg yolk incident. At that point, I went to the vet. Since then, she does eat. https://allbirdproducts.com/products/amtyl

I will add oyster shells to the cage she's in as well as the 1 Caltrate.

I am so appreciative! I hate getting charged all this money with no answers!

@Wyorp Rock How do you administer (and obtain) the 1 Caltrate? Is it the human kind given to chickens?

 

[tacosta1009]

It may be some time yet before vet schools start teaching about treating chickens. The rationale against it probably has a lot to do with chickens being a favorite meat source in our culture as well as very short life spans.

So we try to fill the gap here. You've had good advice from all the others. I'll just offer a source for the antibiotic suggested, and I also strongly suggest your hen be given it. https://www.kvsupply.com/item/aqua-mox-250mg-capsules-100-count/P06184/

@azygous Thank you. How do we make it an oral dose? Dissolve in water and administer?

The contagion of this condition is very low. I wouldn't worry about that.

 

[azygous]

Yes! A very good sign!

 

[Wyorp Rock]

I would put her back. Nice egg!

@azygous She's about 2 years and 3 months. She seems to be turning the corner since she laid a normal egg, but I hate that it may keep happening.
