Egg bound

[spope]

This is day two my hen who lays every day has not laid. She is 1. She is really lazy as of today. Feathers fluffed. Drinking still.
I put her in Epsom salt. She pushed but can’t get it out. She has pooped some in the bath. This is what her vent looks like, no egg yet. What do I do. Picture is graphic. She is wet.

Dry her carefully with clean towels and let her rest in a warm and dim place.

Give her one tablet of calcium citrate 600 +vitamin D3 daily for 4-6 days to help her get stronger contractions to expel the egg(s).

Let us know how it works for her.

Any grocery store will carry it in the vitamin isle. You can use the tablets for humans, they work just fine.
