Hello fellow chicken lovers! This morning my RIR was acting odd and not moving and I found that she is egg bound. I’m trying to act fast as she is definitely not feeling good. I’ve been giving her warm Epsom salt baths every other hour or so and gently massaging her and then I’m putting her in a nesting box that has been blocked off with wood and has some water in case she needs some. I just picked up some Calcium pills with D3. There is 600mg of calcium and 20mcg of D3 in one pill so how much should I give her and how should I give it to her? Thanks!
 
Do you know how to tube feed? If mine I would tube 60 ml of fluids and give 1/2 or 1 whole calcium to her.
 
You need some aquarium air line and a 30-60 ml syringe.
