Swollen girl

You could try the warm bath treatment for about half an hour.  This may help her lay the eggs naturally.  Carefully handle her so as not to break the eggs inside her.  Dry her with a towel and then hairdryer on low setting.

Vaseline or cooking oil for lubricant around and in the vent area may also help.  Others have used lubricant and extracted the eggs with their fingers.  They may break doing this so try the warm bath first.

Keep us updated and good luck.

If she is left somewhere quiet, warm and dark after her bath she might pass them herself.  This could take a few hours.  You can lube the vent which might help her.

Can you tell her eggs from your other hens?  If not better to have her on her own to lay so you know she has cleared the blockage.  Let her have a feed and drink first and then you could keep her in a box with ventilation overnight.

   No joy. 

The wife took her to the vet today and she has had a "huge injection"  of what I don't know but she should be free of them in 24 hours.  The bank balance is now £31.60 lighter 

 

It didn't work.

Had to have her put to sleep tonight, she was suffering from peritonitis and the vet thinks her uterus had probably ruptured.

RIP Edna

At least she had over a year of good life after the battery farm.

So sorry, you have given her a loving home and the best treatment.  You should be proud of yourself.
