there are some fresh poops, but no egg!Now you wait. Be sure she's drinking fluids. Dehydration will complicate things.
ok, thanks for this. wow nine days! I just decided to bring her back outside so she can get the flock interaction and hopefully regain her place as top hen. I saw her eat and drink and peck around a bit, and she’s perched alongside the others in the run as they like to do every morning. I’ll keep watching for the day and see if anything resolves. I’m hoping she feels the urge to use a nest box today since she’s got access to the coop again. thanks for all the guidance it’s been really helpful.It's unusual but not unheard of for egg binding to go unresolved for this long. I had a hen go nine days with a prolapse and obstruction. It turned out not to be an egg, but tissue from an egg. Once it was passed, the hen bounced back to normal immediately.
You may not see an egg. If it's merely tissue causing this, you may not see it if it comes out in poop. But your hen will behave noticeably more normal.
she had a pretty normal day yesterday out with the flock, now this morning we’re back to this. she still hasn’t laid and now this morning she hasn’t eaten. ugh I wish I could help herIt's unusual but not unheard of for egg binding to go unresolved for this long.

how is that done? I took her out of the run and got her to eat a bit of yogurt with electrolytes again. she hopped off my lap and just moseyed herself across the yard back up to the coop. now she’s laying there looking not great. she pooped on the way. I have the pen set up for her in the garage I’m assuming she’s gotta go back in…If she loses strength, you may need to tube feed. Are you up for it?
