Need help with eggbound Leghorn

[Cyprus]

I would leave her rest for a while.

I will.
I think she will make it, although her comb may not.

Here is some reading about the various reproductive problems that can cause problems:

I am with the no-flush opinion. There is enough of a chance of fecal bacteria working their way up to the oviduct from the vent and large intestines, but to flush water up their with a syringe, I would be afraid that would increase chances of infection. Here are some diagrams showing the anatomy of the large intestines in regards to the oviduct:

I will.

That is probably the wisest course given from the pics it looks like a shell wasn't made.
Also, if you are not as desperate as I was then the others are right, there is a risk.
I didn't have a lot of choice. There were shell bits in her poop and in the pieces of egg I flushed out.
If you watch her as I know you will, I'm pretty sure she'll be fine.
Give her a hug from me but quick because I need a shower.

She said thanks for the hug and 'do you have treats?'

I wouldn’t worry too much about the comb. You’ll love her any way.

I have a feeling the polar vortex of 2019 is going to claim many comb tips.

I feel that is far less serious than losing toes.

I will love this girl no matter what.
But it always comes down to quality of life. If I feel she reaches a point where she is too far gone, I will send her peacefully on her way.

Give her an electrolyte and a liquid calcium to help replenish electrolytes and calcium levels to prevent this from happening again. As far as the comb, put some vaseline or baby oil, something to hydrate the skin, and hopefully it'll heal. If not, the dead tissue will fall off. Keep her inside and watch your other hens, if you have any, ensure they get calcium and high protein supplements, and carbs(grain) to keep warm at night.

How is she doing today? I know you are concerned about the comb and it's pretty severe, but how's her other end

No egg has tried to pass. She wants little to do with food.
