She is not moving much, she hasn't been eating, I tried to give her water with a syringe and she jus spit it back out, her belly is very hard, is she laying internally?
Help please!!
 
She has been like this for about 3 days, I am actually surprised she is still alive, she is pooping, I just brought her in to wash off all the poop stuck to her butt, as I carried her in, she dribbled out water that was so foul smelling. No one else has this, she does also have mites, so I have someone getting me mite dust right now to put in the coop and run, do the others have mites too now?
 
she is pooping solid, it was all stuck around her bottom, that's why i brought her inside to wash off the poop, although, I think she is laying internally, so now what, I have never experienced that
 
The longer she is in that condition, the harder it is to fix, you can try to put her in a warm spot so her muscles can relax, but at 3 days I'm afraid your chances are not that good. Sorry.
 
I had to put her down, I just couldn't stand seeing her in such a horrible condition and she was just not going to get any better. From what I have read, egg bound hens can still function normally, am I wrong?
