Give her a warm soak, dry her good & then use a syringe to inject veggie oil into her vent. If there's an egg stuck that may help her move it.

Tried that....gave her a last soak yesterday at dinner time...she went to sleep in my arms in the water....forced some water and meds..by bed time she didn't have enough strength to hold her head up...thanks for the suggestions....

I had 2 eggbound last winter. Lost 1 & saved the other. Push calcium for your flock. Calcium deficiency was the problem for my girls.

I just love the name Mr. Stumpy! So funny!

What's the difference between 4 and 5 hens? Not much, I figure. We eat a good amount of eggs and I'm wonder if 4 hens won't lay enough consistently for us. Should I add a Leghorn to our order?

We have 5 hens. 3 New hampshire reds and 2 Buff orphingtons.
We have been getting 3 egg per day without fail since November.
We are only 2 people, so thats more than we eat per day.
We usally give our surplus to my brother and our sons.
We also have been making a heck of alot of red beet eggs, which I love.
We just picked up a Red Bourbon tom and a Narragassent hen turkey and will be getting a Red Bourbon hen on saturday.
We are preppin/homesteaders so were building up our food stocks.

Has anyone had any luck with HOVA-BATOR INCUBATOR 1602N & 1611 EGG turner. Also I am picking up a Digital EGG incubator THERMOMETER Hygrometer with Remote sensor and a forced air fan kit for incubator.
I am getting this for hatching chicken and turkey eggs.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dennis

Hey Folk:

My sick chook is failing...suspect the ultimate cause was being egg bound...tried a bunch of meds and got her to start eating for a day or so, but, she crashed yesterday....I forced a bit of water and moved her close to the space heater....her buddy is hanging with her....and its just a matter of waiting....really sucks....

Aww...so very sorry to hear that, I'd be heartbroken!

I have 1 chicken that is laying eggs with thinner shells and I am getting concerned...how does one push calcium on their birds? I have oyster shell that they can get any time they want, inside their coop & outside in the run area. I feed layer feed from a feed store, they grind it themselves. I'd like to ward off her getting egg bound if possible. Thanks!

I fermented the feed & then covered the entire top of the bowl full with oyster shell. They couldn't avoid it that way. You wouldn't have to ferment, just dampen the food to make it harder to pick through for the "treat" parts.
