I am on the Android app. It doesn't show your signature. I don't have any chickens of my own, yet. Until the move, yesterday, I was taking care of my neighbor's 13 chickens. (The source of the eggs in my incubator.) I don't know what breeds they are. One looks like a Silky. They were all small breeds except one medium sized breed who doesn't realize he doesn't fit where the lil ones can. LoL
Here's a couple pics I took with my phone of some of them. I don't know who the mother(s) or father(s) are for my eggs since I found them under my car.

How long can a hen go without laying the egg that is inside her? On Thursday the Dr. took an x-ray of our hen and said she had an egg in her but it was still way up in her not to where she would be egg bound. I figured she would have laid it by now. Her comb and wattles are still pale. I have gotten her to eat some yogurt to hopefully balance her out due to her being on antibiotics. I have been soaking her in warm Epsom salt water every afternoon to help heal her feet and I was hoping get her to lay the egg. I don't know what else to do. I'm open to suggestions.

I would try searching in the illnesses section of the forums or posting there. You might be able to get some answers. I've never had this situation, but I hope it gets resolved and that your girl is ok!

The top picture looks like an Old English Game hen and rooster. The bottom picture looks like another Old English Game rooster not sure about the hens. They are all pretty birds. Be sure and post pictures when your eggs hatch. Love seeing the little chicks.

Thank you. Yes I did try searching BYC and Google. I really don't think she is going to make it through the night. I've tried everything that the doctor and I could think of to help her.
 
Thanks. I most definitely will. I love the grey and black coloring of those 2, and the fluffy feet of 2 others, and the fluffy head of another, the brave, friendly personality of the 2 roosters (one pictured in the first pic) and...well... they all have special somethings that makes them so loveable! So no matter which breeds these babies are, I know I already love them! :)

Have you tried massaging it down? Or maybe a calcium gluconate injection? Idk. I wish I knew how to help.
My fingers are crossed for her.
Maybe she'll lay an egg within an egg and hopefully recover quickly.

I'm still not feeling the egg. The x-ray showed it way up like it was still well, processing. I did give her calcium. I just don't know what else to do. Thank you for your help.
