    Please Help! Eggbound & Possible Prolapsed Vent

    I'm so sorry to hear that she died. It definitely happened really quickly with Leeli as well. It's really hard to lose a chicken. I have definitely learned from this experience how important calcium and d3 are! We are going to keep a bottle on hand to give as soon as we see any signs of...

    Thanks so much for your kindness! I definitely learned a lot of information from this situation. We are always gonna keep calcium citrate with D3 on hand to give as soon as we see signs of egg binding. We actually tried using a little olive oil around her vent. Thank you for the suggestion. ☺️

    I wonder if that is what happened with Leeli too. She definitely had access to lots of calcium. Maybe her body just didn't absorb it right. This was the first time Leeli ever had this problem. It happened so fast. It's definitely been hard losing her. I miss her a lot. Your hen reminds me a...

    That is incredibly helpful and makes me feel so much better! 😂 Thank you so much for the explanation. I got a good chuckle out of it too. My little Mari sure does make a lot of noise. 🤣 The faverolles are very dramatic.

    I'm am literally about to cry. I'm so happy she laid the egg. It happened so quickly. She pushed a little, the egg came out, and she immediately fell asleep. Praise the Lord! Thank you all so much for your help! She is sleeping soundly right now and her breathing is no longer labored.

    Please Help! Eggbound & Possible Prolapsed Vent

    Thank you for the advice! I won't inject any more fluids into her vent. I had found a thread on here recommending to do it, and in our frantic state to help her not die, we decided to try anything we could to help her. Thank you for warning me against it. I will get her a comfortable place in a...

    Please Help! Eggbound & Possible Prolapsed Vent

    Thank you so much for your kindness and help!!! We really appreciate it. She passed a little more egg yolk. I am wondering if there are two eggs? Maybe one that broke and that is where the yolk is coming from and also the soft shelled one that still seems whole? She fell asleep and her breathing...

    I used a little olive oil on my glove when I reached into her vent. I could definitely mix up and oil/water solution to lubricate inside her. Thank you for the idea!

    She bled a little bit but not a lot. Part of her vent seemed to come out when she tried to push the egg out. I pushed it back inside and it stayed. I'm new to chicken keeping, so I don't know exactly what to look for.
