Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Egg bound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 A truly egg bound chicken would be dead within a matter of days if she didn't receive treatment. When you say that she has 'had an egg in it for a number of weeks', do you mean that he has felt something? It may well be the gizzard, which is surprisingly low down, and apparently is occasionally mistaken for an impacted egg. Suggest to your friend that he worms his hens, and that he feeds them with a good quality brand of layers pellets, and cuts down on any extras that he might give her. He could also give her a **Basic Health Check** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
