Our hen who has previously been diagnosed with peritonitis is currently egg bound and trying to pass poop and/or the egg but cannot.
We have given her 2 epsom salt baths 15 min each and coated the outside of the vent with mineral oil. I also felt a couple centimeters into the vent and there is a hard (egg?) in the upper left, but it seems to still be separated from my finger by a layer of tissue (probably the vagina?)
Is there any other ways to help the hen pass the bound egg?
