Hi, I am very desperate..
I have come home from holidays to find a new hen waiting in quarantine and only today when I picked her up, I felt she has a very large tummy...and yes, it feels like there is a very very large egg in her lower regions.
I violated her nether regions using a medi glove and vasoline, but I could not feel an egg where I thought it should be according to guides from this site and others. ( I inserted the finger straight, could not feel anything, although the hard shape was lower in her body)
I have bathed her in a warm bath, and massaged the area, have her in a warm bed, and she has food (grower pellets) and fresh water.
She is also molting from the head down to her under carraige, so I am at my wits end! I have no background info on this girl.. only that she is a Black maran cross, unwanted... she is lice and mite free thank goodness!
any ideas??
