I have an egg bound chicken - I was treating her for mites and yesterday I was able to flip her over and see there are a few eggs inside.she is frail I soaked her in Epsom salt warm bath and tried to massage area to help how can we get the eggs out?

thank you very much - I think I feel more than 1 egg...

The epsom salt baths and massages are a good method. You may have to repeat the baths and massages a couple times a day. I also recommend giving her extra calcium - that will help the strength of the contractions that push out the egg. You may also have to lubricate the vent. Vaseline, lube, or vegetable oil will work for this. Then try placing her in a dark, warm area by herself so she can try laying her egg. The baths loosen the muscles of the oviduct and allow for an easier passage of the egg, so she may be able to pass it on her own. Try this process three or four times during the day. If she still does not pass it, please contact us again - an egg that sits too long is very serious! Best of luck! - Teagan M.
