minnie Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 We have a young chicken who we think is egg bound. It has been suggested that liquid paraffin might help her. Does anyone know where we might be able to buy liquid paraffin and what it is called in France. Any other advice re egg bound chickens would be welcomed.

nomoss Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 My dictionary says "Huile de vaseline", "Vaseline liquide", or "Huile de paraffine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneySuckleDreams Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 where are you going to be putting the paraffine? not get her drink it are you? A steam bath is the normal way to start things of.http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xnj32v_how-to-cure-an-egg-bound-chicken_lifestyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Surely Norman has experience of these alternatives. His input might be instructive, even uplifting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nectarine Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 From a chicken forum, of which I'm a member, I found this reply to someone's posting about thier egg-bound chicken:"http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xnj32v ... _lifestylehttp://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/0 ... ptoms.htmlhttp://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/h ... ckens.htmlMoist heat is the way forward. then quiet and rest under a heat lamp to help her get over the shock. If you need to get an egg out then you can use oil just as effectively as KY jelly as recommended.Good luck.If you are coming across softies then that says they need more calcium in their diet, oyster shell or calcium supplement in their water will do the trick."
