Thank you, I took her to the vet and they determined she doesn't have an egg mostlikey, she's more on the dehydrated side and is being taken care of for that and some other problems

This is my first time dealing with an egg bound chicken and it's late at the time of me posting this. I believe I caught it early but I've given my chicken an empson salt bath though I'm pretty sure I didn't get her vent under water at all times

She was standing like a penguin at the time of finding her. Around 8 so she was trying to sleep. (Kinda why I have no pictures at the moment.)

The egg is probably deep inside right now and I'm not feeling any hardness that I think is an egg, I'm feeling bone mostly but I'm probably feeling around the wrong area.

There isn't any calcium available but I'm buying calcium now and she will be given egg shells as well as the others until oyster shells have been acquired.

I'm just really worried about my girl, any suggestions on what else to do will help.

Big update on Alejandro. I took her to the vet and was told she was severely emaciated. She did show me how her breast were practically nonexistent and this was very helpful but heart breaking news. No egg was found. But fluid was. It could've broken inside her.

We then decided to do blood test and fecal test aswell, so if she has Parasites, then the entire flock can be treated.

She was also given fluids and perked up last night and even ate on her own. Unfortunately she isn't doing better today but is drinking on her own, I need to force feed her, but meal worms is the only interest she has. Which is nice I guess.


I just wanted to thank everyone here, no one wants to deal with their pets being in pain and having a community that comes back and helps someone out is something so wholesome it makes me tear up. I may continue to post updates on her but my only real focus is on her and getting her to gain more weight

Thank you for the update. @Eggcessive can tell you how to tube feed her to get some weight on her, it's not difficult. Please do keep us posted and I hope she does well.

Thank you! I don't think I'll need to do tube feeding yet but I will keep it in mind!

Okay. Watch her stools. Bright green indicates starvation.
