My one year old Bielefelder who has not yet laid. is struggling with something? She was fine up until 2 days ago. I noticed she did not come running for she afternoon snack? She seemed confused? I brought her over to the snack and she walked away and laid down and continued to follow the same pattern for the last 2 days. This morning I had to bring her out of the nesting area. Something she went and laid down. I brought her in, gave a salt water bath (egg bound?) egg yolk slurry with syringe no go. Electrolytes with water in a syringe she took very little. Scrambled egg she did eat some. She is alert and her breathing is normal, crop empty, and it doesn’t feel like an egg in her vent. There is a walnut sized lump though? I have never felt her vent before so I don’t know if that is normal? She has a great diet with plenty of options for hydration. ACV, Vitamins, probiotics added and plain water to choose from. She a lovely living area with lots of space which she shares with 6 other girls. I’m sorry to say my chicken keeping experience has been plagued with issues and I am getting tired!! Ugh!! I took pics of her poop today as it looks very off! I have no poultry vets available today and I have already spent a significant Amt of $$$ on them and am reaching my limit!! Any ideas!!
