I picked up 6 ex battery hens on Saturday. The healthiest looking of the bunch now seems to be egg bound... well thats what someone said.
She's sitting down with her feathers out and does seem to be straining....
She was fine last night so this started sometime between then and about 4 pm when I saw her.
Warm baths were suggested, should I try this tonight.
I can't feel any egg in her but she is certainly uncomfortable.
I'm not calling a vet for her (google brings up a recommendation for a hysterectomy!) but I will cull her if I have too.
She is the nicest hen there!
Very friendly and easy to pick up.
