Possible egg bound?- URGENT

[Vonnp1]

@Vonnp1 The calcium needs to be given immediately. I lost a hen this spring because I didn’t get calcium in her quickly enough.

She's been getting lots of calcium since last night, Im going to look for the thing at the store some pictured

Pics of her butt and stance would be good.

View attachment 3988679dont want to pick her up right now as she's pulsating pretty hard, still trying to push I guess?

I agree with eggcessive. The egg is most likely pinching off a nerve. Is her leg just staying sprawled out like that?

That was @azygous that mentioned that. Was the hen vaccinated for Mareks disease? I hope that she is just having trouble laying an egg, not having a sign of Mareks. Sometimes the position of one leg in front and one in back can be seen in Mareks. But not pooping can be a sign that she is egg bound.How many mg of calcium are in the Tums that you have been giving. Tums can help, but they also need a little vitamin D 3 which the calcium citrate has. Aim for at least 300 mg of calcium up to 600 mg.

Unsure of vacation, I have calcium citrate+D3 now, She has pooped this since posting
I've been giving her mineral oil trying to loosen everything up so is that stool normal?

Yes

Since posting she has pooped this, I been giving her mineral oil so does this look normal?

It is pretty watery with a lot of urates and bits of stool. I would hold off on any more mineral oil. Is she eating and drinking anything?

Yes she is still voluntarily eating and drinking, but now she's just keeping her head down otherwise and not really making noise, I'll hold off on the oil.

Can you give her some electrolytes or sugar water help up to her beak if she is alert enough to drink? I’m sorry she is worse, according to your other thread. What state are you in? If you should lose her, would you want your state vet to do a necropsy? They could look for what was wrong, and do testing. A body should be kept cold, not frozen, and taken in to the state lab as soon as possible. Since tomorrow is Saturday the labs are not open on weekends, but you can check. You can also do a home necropsy to look at and take pictures of the organs to post here. Let us know how she is doing later on.
