Sara, my modern game bantam, has had eggbinding problems. She has been bound 4 times before. I have gotten the egg out all times by soaking in warm water and giving her orally by eye dropper a mixture of white Karo syrup (for a quick energy boost to pass that egg), olive oil (helps provide slip) and milk (to give her a much-needed calcium boost). And ag store brand electrolytes. I can feel the egg in her, between the hips, and she is breathing hard and has a distended abdomen. It happened at the fair, so the stress probably added to it. She has had her bath and fluids.
 
Nevermind she passed it. Being able to relax helped. I think she might have even layed two eggs. I will have two check the nest. Her little system probably was backed up.......
