Okay, has anyone ever dealt with an egg bound hen? She has a "swelling" at the South end of her abdomen, palpable. I have watched a couple of You tubes, including one from a vet. I have put some KY jelly in/on her clocea (sp?) She is alert, she is checking out my dogs in the house. I have her in the house to watch. I tried to manipulate the softness further south in her system (done via the way the vet showed). She is right now doing the egg song - but no egg. Okay, she just hopped out of the rub I had her in and gave one of the biggest poops I have ever seen. I palpated again, and I still feel something there. I think I will put her in the little girl pen and tonight, if the swelling is still there, I will bathe her, how I have seen and read about.
Could she be "constipated" because of all the grazing?
Right now she looks like she is "pushing", feathers around the clocea are opening and closing. , okay, another egg song...let's see what happens.
She is lose in my bedroom right now (how pathetic am I?) Okay, nothing. Alright, I am giving another shot of KY jelly and putting her in the little girl pen.
