Egg bound chicken

Recommended Posts

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. Thanks

From a chicken forum, of which I'm a member, I found this reply to someone's posting about thier egg-bound chicken:

Moist 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."

It always seems to be a new member who resurrects these old posts often with not very informative comments.
