Need help with eggbound Leghorn

[Wyorp Rock]

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

I saw your other thread, that comb must be painful! This may be why she's not wanting to eat much. Is she willingly drinking? Hydration is very important.
I would say direct dose her with poultry nutri-drench, but....with that comb, handling her may just hurt more than help.

Is she a daily layer? My W Leghorn is a laying machine! Stress from it all may delay her for a day or two hopefully she will get back to normal in the laying department.

Does she have a favorite food. I'd give her that and worry about nutrition tomorrow or the next day. Maybe once she gets a taste of food she'll perk up. Drinking is important and you've got that done. Good luck. I hope she gets better soon. Today would be fine.

She is willingly drinking and is a daily layer.

It's good that's she's drinking!
I would make her a little scrambled egg, does she like those?

You know how to tube feed, yes?

@Cyprus
I've had good results with yogurt with a bit of honey mixed in to get my reluctant eaters started.

Yes

Any reason you don't want to tube?
