You could feel for an egg with an oiled finger.

Won't she get agitated if I feel that way?

 

[MelissaTXRn]

Maybe, but she may die if there is one stuck.

Ok so how far up should I go

 

[MelissaTXRn]

You may try putting her in a warm bath too. Then gently insert the end of your finger and feel around for an egg. Has she been wormed lately?

I dont know how to feel for an egg

Won't she get agitated if I feel that way?

I would feel a normal chicken first - just so you know what is a bone and what is something abnormal. I would first try feeling on the outside of the chicken - have the chicken face you and press/feel lightly starting a little before her legs and going back - be sure to feel between the legs and the body, that is where I've found the eggs most. If you can't feel something, or maybe you can and want to know where it is, oil or grease your finger, and put it in her vent. It sounds gross, yes, and I haven't done it before. you can use a TIGHT fitting glove it that helps you. If you feel something, continue treatment as I explained. Hope she gets better!!!!!

Ok so I could feel something kind of under her vent that felt oval shaped but I'm not sure if it was an egg. Ill go feel the places you told me to now.

Okay. I'd soak and rub, since the egg is right there. (maybe.) It never hurts to do it.
