Help my hen has a broken egg shell within what can I do?!
I believe my hen was in the process of laying her egg when she got startled by my dog!. I found a egg yolk on the ground with no egg shell!. My hen seems to not be able to walk normally but stoops and waddles!. I know the vet can assist best but I was wondering if I could remedy this apparent problem!. Please suggest solutions that will keep me from having to end her life!. If you can let me know your sources and experience I will appreciate that!. It is now about 12 hours from the time of the event!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree that you should take the poor thing to the vet, but if you insist on doing it yourself, go to http://poultryone!.com/articles/hensother!.!.!. That page talks about when an egg is too big and you have to break it within the hen, and then talks about how to get the shell out, so it might relate to your situation!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
The egg was probbaly not a baby it was just a regular egg instead!. also your chicken is okay thaat happens to alot of chickens sometimes its normal but if you want just to be safe you should go to a vet i would recommend it if you can't then just pet your chicken and let it rest or something!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I am sorry to tell you this but it will most likely need to be put down!. I had two ducks pop an egg in their cavity and there is nothing to be down except put them out of there misery!.
It sounds the same!. The stoop and waddle, can't move around properly!. It will only get worse!. I am sorry to tell you!. It is sad when this happensWww@FoodAQ@Com
