Thanks, I'm hoping she can get it out. I was trying to get my finger on it get good enough to break it and pull it out at this point but I can't get a grip on it since it so far down and too big. They are so tiny and she tightens up and I can only use my pinky which is so much harder to grip with.

Best way to get a very large egg out. We've soaked, used mineral oil, tums, gentle massages, I've tried getting my pinky in there to try to help it out, but the m this egg is too large I think to get close enough. She startled and has cracked the shell. I wouldn't normally worry too much as...

Unfortunately, that kind of testing isn't available for us at the moment. We did try everything that would be recommended I would assume for respiratory disease. Tylan, erythromycin, Enrofloxacin, and used terramycin. I'm at a loss of what else could be used for this to clear it up. None of that...

It never cleared up with antibiotics though. It never even got better. It got better on it's own when it stopped everything for a couple a months and let her free range alone but then when our pollen count went up it seems like that's when her eye got worse again, could be coincidence though.

It's also squishy and not hard. I've dealt with eye stuff before but this is completely different. I cannot get this to clear up.

I've done all that and nothing worked. No pus either. She's had it since October and has been with the flock since then. She's the only one with it.

Is this possibly an impacted salivary gland? I've tried multiple antibiotics since October and nothing works. It almost cleared up but then it flared back up recently and is getting worse. Not sure if she's allergic to something or what's going on. There's nothing hard in there. If I push on it...

That chicken calculator isn't as user friendly as the turkey calculator I've used. Maybe use friendly is the wrong term, probably beginner friendly. I'd have to do a lot of research to figure all that out, which I can do. I was just hoping for something more simple.

Thank you. I had a splash blue jubilee hen but she died before I could incubate their eggs. I'm getting done Jubilee eggs to incubate. I'm waiting for my local lady to hatch babies for me to buy the same mix again so I can keep that breed going. I was just curious what would happen while I was...

I have a Blue Jubilee Orpington rooster and I'm about to get Jubilee Orpington hatching eggs. I'm also looking for other Orpington chicks. What crosses would he make with what colors? I'm not sure if there's a calculator for that like the one for turkey genetics but if there is, please share!

I know it will come off. Very evident that it will. I just read that it should have by now from everything I have read. Maybe the little bit of blood flow she did have kept it from happening sooner. It was hard to tell for awhile. As her foot was a completely solid ice block when I found her. I...

Definitely a lot slower than what research said that's for sure. I was sure hoping it would go faster for her as I know it has to be uncomfortable and probably painful but I'm uncomfortable giving her any sort of pain reliever for that long. I don't even like taking it myself.

@Allsfairinloveandbugs @Wyorp Rock Here's what's her foot looks like right now. Still a process. Definitely taking its time.

She's only one toe. The foot wants to come off but still hasn't just yet. It's been a very slow process for her. She's still doing good though. She's walking, exploring small distances but puts herself back he safe place after about 10 minutes, and lays eggs frequently. She's still thin though...

Thanks everyone. I thought so but really wanted confirmation I wasn't crazy in thinking that. I don't remember how old but maybe 4-6 months. I have so many of all ages I can't keep up with them all.
