Chirping
My Dutch bantam hen had not been acting right for a few days and I had felt that she was significantly heavier in her abdomen. I realized she is egg bound because she shows all the signs, and started soaking her in warm water and massaging it. It has been four days now and she has stopped eating, I am now tube feeding her. I have her Nutri-Drench but she tried to spit it back up and then it went into her lungs. She is low making some awful gurgling and popping sounds. She also has been sneezing because it is coming out of her nose. Her abdomen is now so big and extremely hot, what do I do? Please respond quickly, I do not know how long egg bound chickens last and she has been our families favorite. She is only 2 years old.
Edit:
I forgot to add that she is pooping only a bit of juice once and a while, probably the only stuff she can squeeze out. It is also super green and slimy, is that an infection? And if so should I give her antibiotics? I also heard that soaking her in white vinegar can dissolve the egg shell, making it easier to push out. Is that a good idea?
