Egg Bound

[shaun h]

warm bath should help i wouldn't brake the egg it can have ill affects on bird if you not sure how to do it . i agree with old yellow warm bath towel hot water bottle cotton bud in olive oil rub it round vent should help it pass used to do it with the budgies works a treat.

this happened me last year,i could see the egg but it was stuck.i got some oil and rubbed into the vent and slowly massaged the egg and i mean very slowly and it felt like ages as the egg just poped out,dont break the egg as it will do damage inside.what a relief when the egg came out.i was over the moon.ive still got the egg and the hen layed normal this year.

also try running the shower or bath till its steams the room then take your bird in for a while this has also worked for me with other birds . i have read on the net that some people put boiling water in bowl and hold birds vent over it (not to close or it burns) and this has worked for them .

I tried most of the advice here but the hen would still not pass her egg. I asked an old hand in my pigeon club and he told me to give the pigeon a strong dose of epsom salts. I gave the bird the strong dose of epsom salts yesterday and I am pleased to say that she has passed the egg today. Was it the epsom salts or a culmination of all the remedies i've tried? Who knows.....I'm just glad the egg is out and my bird is ok.

 

Thanks to everybody who offered their advice.

 

Cheers.

lac of calcium m8, get some tablets

[buster151]

I gave mine some Calcium from holland and barratt the one with magnesium in right as rain next day

[harry h]

Osteocare original Tablets, Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D3 all in one 1/4 of a tablet

every day for 5 days you bird will be up on it's feet within 2 days, give all

your hens a 1/4 of a tablet and you won't have any more of them going off their leg's.

if nothing else works arm some olive oil get a 1 mil syringe fill it with the olive oil gehnly insert up and inbetween the vents and empty

remove the syringe massage the anal area this wll remove the egg without breaking

[We man]

Hold vent over steam from kettle but not to close.
