Does she walk like a penguin?

She’s not walking much at all. Her abdomen feels very firm. She did poop this morning though...

I’m thinking of euthanizing her today if I don’t see any improvement. She is obviously not feeling well. She did drink, and it looks like she tried to eat, by not much.

Waiting on eggs to hatch. I can hear them making noise in their eggs. No one is trying to come out get. This is kind of feeling like the saying a wacthing pot never boils.

Put a heat lamp on her and keep her around 90 degrees. With canaries that are egg bound, that sometimes helps.

21 cockerels left this morning to go to their new home. That's 21 less mouths for me to feed and more brooder space freed up for upcoming hatches

Is that an actual poop I see? That is promising. I think.
Do what is best, and don’t second guess when it’s decided. Torturing yourself isn’t good.

It's hard to say without holding her but I would gamble that it is internal laying usually a result of salpingitis. My Daisy died from this. Her belly was so distended that there was space between her feathers on her belly and she could not walk upright. She waddled like a penguin. If that is what it is, there is really nothing you can do. Daisy's belly was really hard and yet you could tell it was fluid.

I hope this helps. I'm not a vet and I have not held your girl. I'm just relaying my experience.

Best of luck to you both.

Thanks, I’m suspecting internal laying too. She has pooped several times today. I got home later tonight, but I will be putting her to rest tomorrow.
