eggbound

Just like I stated in the title, my hen is still not able to walk after finally laying the eggbound egg, though she doesnt really seem lethargic, she still eats and drink with assistance and her comb and wattles are red as usual, Is it possible she can walk once again? if so what can i give her...

Hi there, I'm definitely needing some help from anyone and everyone right now. I'm very concerned over my 5 year old Jumbo Pekin Cracker, as she came out of the coop this morning with her 3 year old sister and has been acting very weird. She's had a little limp for a bit now but today it seems...

Hello, I've got a 10 1/2 month old Andalusian looking hen, who feels very eggbound and full, named Billie Joe. We noticed last Sunday afternoon when we'd picked her up. She's been separate from the other chickens in dog crate with plenty of pine shavings, water, and food. Billie Joe circles and...

I know. It counterintuitive. But I do know that there is an implant that a vet can put into a bird to help reduce or stop laying entirely. I know it might be hard to fathom of why somebody would want to do some thing like this but my favorite little Serama hen, Pippa, is a tiny little thing...

I have a new layer, only 2 eggs in, who is eggbound. I have given her electrolytes and fluids by crop feeding, as well as Ca Gluconate to help her pass the egg. I have given her a warm bath with epsom salts, and just gave her another one 15 minutes ago. I can feel the egg pushing up against the...

My hen has been acting strange since yesterday. She laid her first egg last Friday and hasn’t laid since. Yesterday she started to refuse food and hold her tail feathers down. She keeps to herself in the darkest part of coop, so I assumed she was egg bound, I didn’t feel anything on her abdomen...

Our 1 year and 9 month old hen was starting to act funny last night, as she was going in the nesting box instead of the roosting bar at night. We thought she had a late egg. But this morning, I noticed she was standing still by the water, ignoring the food i had brought in. I picked her up to...

Hiya, we have a 2 yr old silkie hen that is possibly eggbound but unsure if it could maybe be something else causing her distress. She hasn't laid for months but she is exhibiting a lot of the symptoms of being eggbound so we have been treating her for this. She is usually very active and...

Hi everyone, New duck mom here 👋🏼. This duck (I assume female) was discovered this afternoon just laying around. I approached her and instead of standing she used her wings to try to get around. That was her state all day. I put her in the pool and she stood on both feet and moved around in...

Hi, I am very new to chickens and got my red sex link pullets in May when they were 18 weeks old. They are now are now about 6 months old and have all been doing great until yesterday. Yesterday, only 2 laid and egg and I found one other egg under the roosting bar (which has never happened...

I have a hen who has been getting lots of issues lately. First, a few weeks ago, it seemed she had sour crop, but then it went away by itself before I had a chance to treat it. Now suddenly she's unhealthy again. She's been hiding in a nest box all day and this morning it looked like she was...

Hello all, I hate to make a first post for this reason, but one of my girls passed this morning, and I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me figure out why? (I know nobody is going to be able to tell me exactly what happened, I’m just curious and pretty concerned. I wasn’t home over...

Hello, i have my sweet chicken Sugar and she became sick very sudden. She has this white/yellow discharge coming out of her vent, she is struggling to poop and breathing extremely heavy. She doesn’t want to eat or drink. We have been syringe feeding her apple Cider Vinegar, dewormer, and a...

Hi everyone, my favorite chicken Sesame had a prolapse early July of last year! I took really good care of her during her prolapse, prep H, warm baths w/epson salt, 8hrs sunlight. She made a full recovery. Since then she hasn’t laid any eggs and hasn’t molted. I think she’s been internally...

So, yesterday we noticed a chicken who was sitting by herself inside, she had a very pale comb and waddle. She moved a little when we started inspecting her but would just lay right back down. She had no balance her wings were slumped down but she was holding her head up like normal. We figured...

One of our ducks isn't doing very well. It all started last weekend. She was apathetic and didn't want to eat, not even her favorite treats. She wanted be alone and went to sit inside the pool, tail down. I immediately thought she might be eggbound and made her a warm epsom bath. After 30 mins...

I found my sebright hen standing in the coop all hunched over, looking like she was in pain, she couldn't really walk and I think an egg is stuck, her vent looks very strange though. Could it be a prolapse? Did anyone peck her? Pls help

I have a red chicken she's a little older like 3/4 she's usually a daily layer still. I noticed her butt was drooped,like she was walking upright. She's sluggish but still feisty and alert. Eating and drinking. I read egg bound. So I brought her in and soaked her. After soaking I left her in...

Hey there, I hope it's okay to post about a duck on here. I am a lifelong "animal person" (they find me everywhere I go!) and have extensive experience with furbabies, but not as much with feathered ones. I have an Orpington female duck that adopted me, along with a Rouen and a Mallard. (The...
