Jonny Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Quick help needed! One of our chucks has looked under the weather this afternoon. Just gave her a once over and a softish egg shell is hanging out of her vent. Do I gently pull it out? Leave her to pass it on her own? Take her to the vets? Thanks in advance.

Egluntyne Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I would gently pull it out as her companions will peck at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Ta. You're a legend. Is it dangerous for her if the egg has broken inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Pulled it out but it was quite stuck. Charlie took a couple of minutes now seems back to her usual self. Incidently my wife had a ceasarian section last week and I watched most of it. Pulling the egg out of the vent and all that entailed was far worse than anything I saw then!
