Thank you for labeling the pictures.
Do you know why she would get eggbound ?

This is jus a guess, but it looks like the fat caused it.

I was thinking the same thing. But was not sure.
Is it overeating on the hens part. Or is the fat issue the type of feed given ??

I don't think it was the feed type. I feed no corn, I feed Blue Seal grower crumbles. I only had her a few months (bought her from Jamie Matts). Not sure what he feeds. But a Vet told me that obesity predisposes them to getting eggbound.

I also read something about fatty lover syndrome... Not saying that's what's going on here, but I think it can cause what we see, but don't quote me on that, lol.

My wet pox patients are very time consuming, lol, I think I'm up to ten that need tubing and another 4 that I have to keep an eye on.
