Not intro, but had trouble with "emergency" forum thread

[rebeccah]

My hen was egg bound or too lethargic to lay the egg at her vent. I think she has lice and would like to upload a photo. How do I do that?

What are these on her feathers?

Hello and Welcome To BYC! You'll want to post in the Emergencies forum about your hen www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures if your hen is egg bound right now, here is a great article on egg binding https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/egg-binding-symptoms-treatment-and-prevention I can't really tell from the photo, but could those be fly eggs or small maggots, could she have fly strike?

 

[rebeccah]

Could have been fly eggs. She didn't make it. Three others happily taking dust baths and free ranging in the yard. I will miss her.

sorry to hear about your girl. I hope all your others are doing well. I had a aracana who got egg bound. I brought in the house and soaked her in warm water after that I pushed on her belly a little and the egg came out with out a shell. she survived up until this winter she even laid a couple green eggs before her passing

Hi @tinamarieallen , that's too bad about your girl. It was must have been especially hard once she got over her initial problem, only to lose her later.
