It’s so nice to watch you take good care of your chicken. Animals have feelings just like people do. She was nice and quiet, she knew you were trying to help her. You’re a good person.
No they dont, if you were getting raped and murdered in front of a chicken, it would look because of the noise then go right back to pecking. Most animals in no way have feelings like humans. The real world is not the Disney channel
I’m glad you mentioned that thing about her dying if the egg breaks inside of her. My first thought was why not just crack the egg and pull it out that way? Now I know why! But you did a wonderful job!!
That only applies if the egg is still mostly still inside. In this case, the egg should have been broken, removed and flush the tissue. This poor hen suffered way too long with this unnecessary prolonged photo op.
We found one of our hens like this last night. I tried to help her but I didn't know what to do, so I started researching and found your video. Thank you so much for this!
Finally a person who realises this problem I live in a country where it is not as animal-loverish as america or other western ones Many people don't even care about dogs and some even believe they have no soul Most vets only care about money and have zero knowledge about an animal Have lost many chickens because of the lack of vets, thankfully I have a good amount of knowledge with bird and biology stuff (planning to head towards that direction) so we have managed to save a good number There are no bird vets Most people keep bird pets in cages, technically they are toys and decorations to them, not actual pets so most live for less than half a year due to stress or lack of nutrition :( Kinda hurts seeing them caged as an animal lover when I pass through a street
I found another video that shows how to fix this without going to the vet. But, I don't know for sure if it will work. m.ruclips.net/video/Aa3YcWfQO9A/видео.html
I mean I agree to an extent..but I have lived in Alaska and while some places are very remote and such others just seem so. I don't know where this lady lives as I found my way to this video after a very random discussion with my husband about how chickens lay eggs and how they have to be fertilized and such and this popped up after several web pages and RUclips videos later lol but point being just saying 'she's in Alaska' is too broad. When I lived in Alaska I lived several hours by snow machine outside a tiny town, and then in a city..when I lived in the city and went to school when kids found out I was from Texas they would ask if I rode a horse to school. Then back in Texas they all asked if I lived in an igloo and were quite shocked to hear I lived in an apartment..with AC & heat! *gasp!* lol. So saying 'she's in Alaska' is just as silly to say as those kids questions. Yes much of it is remote and isolated but there are many areas that aren't.
Let's not let the stupid people continue to think everyone in Alaska lives in igloos and has no running water or any of that... And besides many people have chickens in their backyards inside city limits all over the world. They are more common than I ever would have thought.
She said before anything else she took her hen inside because it was 10 degrees in Anchorage Alaska. So I'm assuming it would've been a hassle trying to get there and back... idk dangerous. and she wasn't about to get a vet right away so what does that tell you? Damn... jumping down people's throats.
Hello, you did a fantastic job and are very compassionate. This is a uterine prolapse due to a large egg but usually this happens to all animals including humans during the birthing process. The egg must be passed and using petroleum gelly was a great idea. Worst case scenario you would have to break the egg but this could cause infection that would lead to scepsis and then death(you would have to clean out the uterine cavity very well). You could also have done minor incisions to allow the egg to pass through but anaesthetic would be useful in this case. Prolapse would be likely again if sutering of the uterus is not done. Overall, great job handelling her and a very patient chicken!:)
@@tankscrittersandurbanhomes5579 yes you are indeed right that chickens have an oviduct. My apologies for not being more specific, I work with so many animals including cows, horses, sheep, etc. I was mainly referring to the reproductive tract/organ in general but thank you for pointing that out!:)
You were so brave and caring so much for her. You did the best you could. You found the problem, you read up on it and made an appointment with the vet. Then poof the egg came out. I know you can finish this. You were so wonderful and so was the poor hen. She trusted you.
Thank you for posting! Truly! People who don't own birds simply cannot understand that there truly are not many poultry vets. There are absolutely none in my area, so if this happens, poultry owners have to roll up their sleeves and get to work. Great job! And thank you for giving the rest of us a step-by-step guide so that if we EVER have this issue, we too can get to work and save our hen.
Thank you for trying to save the chicken, humanity triumphs over cost. It was important you tried. Well done I only have 7 girls, but all important as is life for the chicken.
everyone is talking about why didn't you take her to the vet but she clearly said I have a vet appointment in a few hours if I can't get it out and everyone says they're bad cuz they eat some of their animals but they live in Alaska where everything is super expensive and most people live off of the nature and by this video alone you can clearly tell they care about their animals
Bless your heart. I've never seen anything like this,I've raised hens and Roosters for 3 years. I have had the eggs break inside them from our Rooster mounting them. Out of 5 cases of egg breaks I've only been able to nurse one back to health after cleaning their insides with a syringe and warm water over the course of 3 times a day for about 2 days and its never easy as you can see,but again,your case is pretty extreme and my hat is off to you. Good luck and I hope you were succesful.
Thank you so much for your video. Earlier today I had a similar experience with one of my young hens that was egg bound and didn’t know what to do. After searching online I came across your video. It helped me so much, I did exactly what you did and after carefully soaking her in a warm bath and using Vaseline I was able to gently work her vent area and the egg finally came out. She was so relieved. I will be letting her rest for a few days away from the other hens. Again thank you so much. 🙏🏼
I think you did really well considering the circumstances. Your empathy and concern for her is apparent... Folks who live on farms laugh at some of us for our care and concern for animals I found after a favorite chicken was attacked by a hawk and lost his eye and I spend 6 weeks irrigating the empty eye socket will warm sterile saline mixed with antibiotics until it closed up and healed (I am a former nurse so I knew a bit about wound care) .... Who is going to fault someone for trying to help ANY injured animal.... Smh
Thank God, you’re a nurse. after keeping animals for all these years and realizing that vets often won’t help, I really wish I would’ve went to nursing school just to do better care for my animals. Lol.
I had a hen with this condition this evening and found your video- it REALLY helped, THANK YOU for posting. The warm bath relaxed her, and I worked with her 'contractions' to extract the egg.... I didn't even need to use lubrication, although I had it handy...it happened pretty fast. She was a great patient and seemed super relieved when the egg passed. She's all cleaned up now and hopefully she doesn't develop an infection. She had a lot of energy and was eating and doing everything regularly, so I hope she keeps in good spirits. I'll keep her inside until she's healed up all the way, and will keep you posted.
+Saywardstudio SO happy this helped you and your poor hen! You might also want to feed her chicken "junk food" and keep her calcium down to prevent her body from trying to lay another egg right away. Also restrict her daylight, because their bodies naturally decrease egg production when their light is restricted. That will help give her body some time to heal up. Keep me updated! I'm on Facebook, too, if you're interested in my other Alaska adventures: facebook.com/alaskaurbanhippie/
Thank you! I just went and 'liked' it. You have some interesting things on there! She's doing fine this morning, I haven't taken her out of the cat carrier to inspect her yet, I figure that would be stressful, but I'm going to have to check her eventually today. I was wondering if some triple antibiotic cream would be ok to put back there to prevent anything developing? I'm keeping it dark and quiet, so hopefully she'll keep getting better! I will keep you updated!
+Saywardstudio I know that coconut oil and mineral oil are both ok for chicken internal/external use, but I'm not sure about antibiotic creams, sorry! Please do keep me updated. :)
+Alaska Urban Hippie Calcium also helps the chickens with muscle contractions apparently, so maybe the calcium would be a good thing to keep in the diet but idk just mentioning.
Thank you soooooo much! This video was a lifesaver and thanks to you, my hen is now recovering!! Without this, my girl would still be suffering. This was amazingly helpful and I was able to follow your steps to get the egg out. Have a great life!
Well done for even attempting this! You remained calm and gentle throughout. Such a wonderful owner Using icing sugar on the area is good for reducing swelling ( sounds odd but it draws fluid out of the tissues)
Oh you poor poor girl, what females go through. Thank goodness she has a loving sympathetic Mumma to help you through sweet lady!! I can feel your heart pouring out through your words and how difficult this was for YOU as well!! Wow. All us child birthers are feeling the pain I'm sure!! We've been there!!! This is just traumatising but from the messages I've read, you have helped a LOT of people tend to their furry friends because of your guidance. Thank you. Just, than you so much.
For anyone watching this in 2023... I've read through some of the top comments and some the newest comments and haven't seen anyone suggest sugar. Research "hen vent prolapse sugar treatment". My hen had a prolapsed vent, but it wasn't this severe because she didn't also have an egg stuck. I don't know the mechanism behind why sugar works, but it did.... in my case. Great job trying to help your hen💜
This must have been so nerve wracking! I kept holding my breath while watching you bravely treat your poor hen. After watching this video, I feel semi-prepared to handle something like this. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Love to your chicky!❤🩹🐔
C. McFluffington lol look at that troll, who the fuck believes chickens laying eggs is equal to an abortion. Its a women too so obviously she knows what periods are lololol. Work on your trolling skills, bet you're not even a real women.
Bless her sweet little heart and bless you for caring for her. There's people that would have just threw her to the side and let her suffer or killed her. You did a great job. I was a trauma nurse for 15 years I've seen this in female patients. God bless people that take care of helpless animals. Thank you for sharing this video and I hope your baby's okay.
Thank you for posting this! We just dealt with this situation today and your video gave us the confidence to keep trying to get the egg out. We did it. Hopefully she will heal now. Appreciate the update video too. We at least know we’ve done what we can.
I'm very impressed with your ability. As a retired RN, I have had to reduce many "people" prolapse problems and I acquired chickens about a year ago so I am learning much. Have given my hen, bound egg, several baths and brought her through the bound problem. My hens are pets first, egg producers second, and I am learning tons about chickens. You are amazing. (I did use some Prep H on my bound hen--don't know if that was a usual procedure but it did reduce the swelling with success) Thank you for your wonderful post. I wish I had lived in Ak part of my life. Perhaps KY jelly would have been better than Vaseline too on your egg problem?
+Dottie Ferrell That's a huge compliment coming from a retired RN - thank you! Luckily, I haven't had to go through this again since this hen, but KY Jelly is a very good idea. I also applied luke-warm coconut oil to help keep the area moist while it was healing and that seemed to work pretty well, plus it smelled nice. Many people in the Alaska chicken community swear by coconut oil for chicken health (putting it in feed, internal medical use, everything). Thank you for watching and commenting - it's very much appreciated. :)
I had this happen to my sweet, baby hen, six months old, my runt Sunshine She passed away over the weekend after the eggs popped out. She just never recovered. I took her to the vet and they were no help unfortunately, I buried her yesterday. Being a chicken mom is not for the faint of heart. I’m telling you it is scary. It’s sad it’s awesome it’s amazing but then there’s days like these that just kick your right Where it hurts. Good luck to anyone owning a chicken family it’s very hard!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my gosh!!!!!!!!! I know this is a 5 year old video but you are AMAZING! I would feel and behave the same way and do my best also. I'm getting ready to watch the second video. So awesome to see how an egg bound prolapse chickie girl isn't doomed forever!
Thanks!!! We ran into this issue yesterday and your video was the only helpful one we found. We were able to remove the egg and push the prolapse act in. Currently our hen is in our recovery coop by her self and seems to be doing well. Time will tell.
Just went through this the other night. Soaked her in Epsom salt bath and massaged the egg while she was in the water. It came out fairly easy after a little massaging.
unfortunately once this happens its likely to happen again.. and worse. I have a poultry farm and we have tried to treat birds when this happens but long term... none of the birds did well. honesty the kindest thing to do is to put them down because it will only get worse.
You should've tried warm olive oil instead of petroleum. I am glad it worked. Please make sure to give your chicken enough selenium so this stuff won't happen again.
I am so sorry you and she went through this. As a human who had a severe prolapse (obviously without the egg) this is more common in humans than people realize. What she’s doing is reducing the prolapse. In humans it can happen with thrombosed hemorrhoids as well. Bless you for trying so hard with her!
This happened to my budgie. We noticed her giving birth and the egg got stuck while on its way out. I wish we had time to rush her to the vet but she passed away so quickly.
You're freaking amazing. What a human being. Most people would be cowards and walk away. Hands down special woman you inspired me to keep farming and educate myself on the livestock I obtain. Gosh, I'm besides myself. Thanks ;) P.s nice observations throughout the entire procedure. Golf clap.
Nice work in a so difficult situation! I’m dealing with one now that had a huge egg and now has poop hanging up back there. She’s as active as the others and shows no issues, but I need to catch her for a little spa time, clean up on the vent area. I’m sort of thinking she may be having the same issue. She too was egg bound at about 8 months old, I was able to soak her and relax her enough the she eventually released the egg. Thank you for your video, you’re right there’s not much out there on the topic to be watched. It’s not that chickens are inexpensive, we are invested in them and their well being. So $65 is a drop in the bucket and worth the knowledge and maybe sorting the issue out. Just think, you and I are so much stronger for what you endured, thank you so much!! Joe in Seattle WA
You should've like put a rubber band before the egg, as tight as possible, then just push gently the egg out, cut what's remaining of the prolapse and leave the rubber band on, apply some disinfectant and some cream to help her heal up faster, leave it over the night and the next day take the rubber band off, assuming that she needed to lay another egg. That would've saved her, just an advice if this is going to ever happen again to one of your chickens.
Thank u so much dear u done a great job she is out of danger. my tears we're dropping when u trying to push out that egg from her body.now I got relief and happy😊 .I have 7 yrs old pet hen chicken.i do take lot of care and attention to her and I know the pain.thank u so much lots of love😘😘😘. please save animals they are angels on this planet.🐣🐥🐔
That's great! It's amazing how videos on RUclips can save an animals life bc you can look up what you may need to do to help..it's amazing your chicken is alive bc of this video!
What a patient chicken!!! I’m amazed that she lay still like that for you!!! I’m only halfway through the video so I’m really really really hoping she makes it!!! I hurt for that poor sweet chicken!!!
The exact same thing happened to my chicken and this video was very helpful. I got the egg out of my hen, but it took a few days for everything to go back inside. I put her in the bathroom in a clean dog crate and left the room quite dark to keep her from trying to lay again. I gave her three baths a day and took her to the vet to get checked out. The vet prescribed antibiotics and pain meds. My girl lived on for two months then became bound again and passed very quickly. The vet we saw mentioned to use KY jelly but not Vaseline or olive oil.
Thank you so much for posting this. I don't know what I would have done without your help. I too have a young buff orpington with prolapsed vent with stuck egg. I am going to try exactly what you have done. I am hoping it works.
She was healing quite well, then tried to lay another egg a few days later and it got stuck the same way. Putting her down was the most humane thing to do. :(
I am so glad this didn’t happen to any of my chickens, I don’t even know how she didn’t cry, my chicken possibly had wry neck and I wanted to cry I don’t know how she went through all that without crying... my chickens are like my children
While I share your anger and disgust if you are Christian remember you must try to turn the other cheek so instead of killing them how about a decent bashing instead?

Thank you. That was a hard day.
No they dont
No they dont, if you were getting raped and murdered in front of a chicken, it would look because of the noise then go right back to pecking. Most animals in no way have feelings like humans. The real world is not the Disney channel
I’m glad you mentioned that thing about her dying if the egg breaks inside of her. My first thought was why not just crack the egg and pull it out that way? Now I know why! But you did a wonderful job!!
But the egg isn't inside her anymore clearly. So there shouldn't be fear about that. If it broke why inside sure.

I don’t think people realize that when they say “take it to the vet” vets that accept chickens are very rare most don’t even do birds.
And her appointment was in a couple hours...
Finally a person who realises this problem
I live in a country where it is not as animal-loverish as america or other western ones
Many people don't even care about dogs and some even believe they have no soul
Most vets only care about money and have zero knowledge about an animal
Have lost many chickens because of the lack of vets, thankfully I have a good amount of knowledge with bird and biology stuff (planning to head towards that direction) so we have managed to save a good number
There are no bird vets
Most people keep bird pets in cages, technically they are toys and decorations to them, not actual pets so most live for less than half a year due to stress or lack of nutrition :(

So true I have a chicken that's leg is broken, and when I asked a vet clinic near by if they could help, they just laughed, thinking i was joking smh
I see a lot of people say "you should've brought her to a vet" but do you realize the woman lives in ALASKA? ALASKA. DO SOME RESEARCH ON IT.

How do u know if ur chicken is eggbound
Chickens don't have uterus. 😑. It is called an oviduct. Yes large eggs can create a prolapse. Usually a deficiency in diet though.
I know righr she did a good job
Lol that was long

This must have been so nerve wracking! I kept holding my breath while watching you bravely treat your poor hen. After watching this video, I feel semi-prepared to handle something like this. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Love to your chicky!❤🩹🐔
That must of been hard for the lady and the chicken, lucky she got it out, brave chicken.
Wow
Whyyyyyy is everyone misspelling must have
Um ???
Yea
Ir the borde bis iba will Cruz show be cartola.
Man imagine how many chickens go through this pain every day when they are laying
Dude its a 12/45443453 chance, no way
I wonder if this happens more rarely with breeds that have smaller eggs
Not as bad as when you eat their abortions #PETA animal cruelty SHAME ON ALL OF YOU

lol look at that troll, who the fuck believes chickens laying eggs is equal to an abortion. Its a women too so obviously she knows what periods are lololol. Work on your trolling skills, bet you're not even a real women.
Usually the egg is soft when It comes out and hardens in seconds
Bless her sweet little heart and bless you for caring for her. There's people that would have just threw her to the side and let her suffer or killed her. You did a great job. I was a trauma nurse for 15 years I've seen this in female patients. God bless people that take care of helpless animals. Thank you for sharing this video and I hope your baby's okay.
Thank you for posting this! We just dealt with this situation today and your video gave us the confidence to keep trying to get the egg out. We did it. Hopefully she will heal now. Appreciate the update video too. We at least know we’ve done what we can.
I hope your chicky was okay!
I'm very impressed with your ability. As a retired RN, I have had to reduce many "people" prolapse problems and I acquired chickens about a year ago so I am learning much. Have given my hen, bound egg, several baths and brought her through the bound problem. My hens are pets first, egg producers second, and I am learning tons about chickens. You are amazing. (I did use some Prep H on my bound hen--don't know if that was a usual procedure but it did reduce the swelling with success) Thank you for your wonderful post. I wish I had lived in Ak part of my life. Perhaps KY jelly would have been better than Vaseline too on your egg problem?
+Dottie Ferrell That's a huge compliment coming from a retired RN - thank you! Luckily, I haven't had to go through this again since this hen, but KY Jelly is a very good idea. I also applied luke-warm coconut oil to help keep the area moist while it was healing and that seemed to work pretty well, plus it smelled nice. Many people in the Alaska chicken community swear by coconut oil for chicken health (putting it in feed, internal medical use, everything). Thank you for watching and commenting - it's very much appreciated. :)
I had this happen to my sweet, baby hen, six months old, my runt Sunshine She passed away over the weekend after the eggs popped out. She just never recovered. I took her to the vet and they were no help unfortunately, I buried her yesterday. Being a chicken mom is not for the faint of heart. I’m telling you it is scary. It’s sad it’s awesome it’s amazing but then there’s days like these that just kick your right Where it hurts. Good luck to anyone owning a chicken family it’s very hard!
Awww hun your so caring, passionate & gentle. ❤❤❤
You handled that so well given never experienced it before first hand.
Thank you. I look back at it now as a huge learning experience, but it was beyond stressful for both of us.
+Alaska Urban Hippie Sorry for your loss. I am curious as to how you, "put down a chicken? "
kayla rose is that sarcasm?
sarcasm, I'm thinking... captain Levi, am I right! hehe yeah this isn't working, I need a plane.. 'now time to fly into the sun, stupid jokes, why!'
kayla rose wow my name is Karla close to kayla just need to replace the y with a r and my middle name is rose!
Oh my- I was holding my breath the entire time I watched this, and finally took a breath when the egg came out! Great Job!!! Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful job! 👍I wish that everyone who has animals were as compassionate as you. God bless you.👼
Ah man, I’m just learning about this... Now I’m really stressed. Bless your heart
I know that feeling of something suddenly working out, out of nowhere and you feel a SHOCKWAVE OF RELIEF ... I COULD FEEL IT THROUGH THE SCREEN!
Your such and awesome human ur so caring there aren’t many people like u
Thank you.
Cameron Bell there are sweetie I promise, yes, this lady that made the video does seem to be one of them! God bless you.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my gosh!!!!!!!!! I know this is a 5 year old video but you are AMAZING! I would feel and behave the same way and do my best also. I'm getting ready to watch the second video. So awesome to see how an egg bound prolapse chickie girl isn't doomed forever!
Thanks!!! We ran into this issue yesterday and your video was the only helpful one we found. We were able to remove the egg and push the prolapse act in. Currently our hen is in our recovery coop by her self and seems to be doing well.
Time will tell.
Just went through this the other night. Soaked her in Epsom salt bath and massaged the egg while she was in the water. It came out fairly easy after a little massaging.
unfortunately once this happens its likely to happen again.. and worse. I have a poultry farm and we have tried to treat birds when this happens but long term... none of the birds did well. honesty the kindest thing to do is to put them down because it will only get worse.
Awe :(
Shokara2 Darn. Now I know I have this coming to deal with my lovely hens. Ughhhhhh. I shall. But still ughhh
Yeah, in one of her other comments she mentioned that it happened again and they had to put her down
Thank you! Just did the same thing. She made it overnight and now we are just watching and trying to help her recover!
😖 When you feel sick but want to find out what happens.
Doge The Rouge how did you know I was sick?
Magic
Doge The Rouge yeah
Doge The Rouge MAGIC

ur a merciful woman.....may god bless uu
You are so brave. Please ignore all these negative comments. You have stayed so calm. You are being so sweet to her.
Thank you
You should've tried warm olive oil instead of petroleum. I am glad it worked. Please make sure to give your chicken enough selenium so this stuff won't happen again.
Aww poor chicken hope she feels a lot better❤ it must have been hurting her :(
I am so sorry you and she went through this. As a human who had a severe prolapse (obviously without the egg) this is more common in humans than people realize. What she’s doing is reducing the prolapse. In humans it can happen with thrombosed hemorrhoids as well. Bless you for trying so hard with her!
You are a very kind, caring person. This chicken is lucky to have you to help her. Good job.
This happened to my budgie. We noticed her giving birth and the egg got stuck while on its way out. I wish we had time to rush her to the vet but she passed away so quickly.
tigereye8593 my condolences.
You're freaking amazing. What a human being. Most people would be cowards and walk away. Hands down special woman you inspired me to keep farming and educate myself on the livestock I obtain. Gosh, I'm besides myself. Thanks ;)
P.s nice observations throughout the entire procedure. Golf clap.
Omg imagine how painful that is yikes
You made me jump when you got the egg to come out. Hope she's alright.
Nice work in a so difficult situation! I’m dealing with one now that had a huge egg and now has poop hanging up back there. She’s as active as the others and shows no issues, but I need to catch her for a little spa time, clean up on the vent area. I’m sort of thinking she may be having the same issue. She too was egg bound at about 8 months old, I was able to soak her and relax her enough the she eventually released the egg.
Thank you for your video, you’re right there’s not much out there on the topic to be watched. It’s not that chickens are inexpensive, we are invested in them and their well being. So $65 is a drop in the bucket and worth the knowledge and maybe sorting the issue out. Just think, you and I are so much stronger for what you endured, thank you so much!!

You should've like put a rubber band before the egg, as tight as possible, then just push gently the egg out, cut what's remaining of the prolapse and leave the rubber band on, apply some disinfectant and some cream to help her heal up faster, leave it over the night and the next day take the rubber band off, assuming that she needed to lay another egg. That would've saved her, just an advice if this is going to ever happen again to one of your chickens.
You should make a video of the procedure if it will help others.

This never actually happened to any of my chickens, but i know that this procedure will work as intented
+DreamRO ROTMG Well, good luck with the chickens. I hope they stay healthy.

She tortured it. Just pop the egg. At that point. She’s not gonna die From an egg break that low. If you can’t care for it don’t have it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! THIS SAVED MY BANTUMS LIFE!!!
How is she doing? Did it happen again after this? I'm very curious
That's great! It's amazing how videos on RUclips can save an animals life bc you can look up what you may need to do to help..it's amazing your chicken is alive bc of this video!
Thats good hope she feels better and isn't going to die like my chicken did
I hope she's ok after all this and I'm glad it worked out
peachy druggie the same thing happened a few days later, so she had to put her down :( She said it was the most humane thing to do
Great video. You made a new fan. You are very caring and compassionate. Thanks for the love you show.
This looks painful. Poor thing, I hope she's okay.
Poor chicken
1 like: chicken won't die
...:)
shut up bitch
u okay? chill out
Yeah chill out
Talk to me like that u should be a bitch
I agree shut up you dont care about the suffering animal you only care about the like
What a patient chicken!!! I’m amazed that she lay still like that for you!!! I’m only halfway through the video so I’m really really really hoping she makes it!!! I hurt for that poor sweet chicken!!!
Awhh, the poor thing. I feel her pain.
Talking PHYSICALLY, Do u REALLY????.....
@@katherinedawkins4962
What if they were pregnant
@@-hollythekitsune-7086 tru and fair
11:44 for a second I thought you cracked the egg my heart just skipped a beat omg..
The exact same thing happened to my chicken and this video was very helpful. I got the egg out of my hen, but it took a few days for everything to go back inside. I put her in the bathroom in a clean dog crate and left the room quite dark to keep her from trying to lay again. I gave her three baths a day and took her to the vet to get checked out. The vet prescribed antibiotics and pain meds. My girl lived on for two months then became bound again and passed very quickly. The vet we saw mentioned to use KY jelly but not Vaseline or olive oil.
Hopefully the chicken is okay

Same thing can happen to humans if they push too hard when pooping.
The Hapa Vegan ☹️☹️
The Hapa Vegan it can still happen to humans when they have babies.
That is a huge egg to push our for a smaller hen. This lady did an excellent job helping and keeping her alive.
One of our chickens (my baby’s) got fly strike a couple days ago...she didn’t make...
Hope your baby is ok ^3^
Rip :(
Poor sheken mealting my heart thank you you do great job . Did she ok now ❤❤🐣🐣
Thank you so much for posting this. I don't know what I would have done without your help. I too have a young buff orpington with prolapsed vent with stuck egg. I am going to try exactly what you have done. I am hoping it works.
I really want to know what lead RUclips to recommend this to me.
oh i would have really struggled with this!! Amazing job!
Thank you :)
How did she fare afterwards? It looks awful for her!!
She was healing quite well, then tried to lay another egg a few days later and it got stuck the same way. Putting her down was the most humane thing to do. :(
Awww, I understand!! You did the right thing. Your compassion is admirable.
+Off-beat Homesteader thank you.
I am so glad this didn’t happen to any of my chickens, I don’t even know how she didn’t cry, my chicken possibly had wry neck and I wanted to cry I don’t know how she went through all that without crying... my chickens are like my children
This saved my chicken without your help she would've been dead by now
It's been a week after and she is better is laying eggs
Enough RUclips for today🙁🙁🙁
Im good now no more youtube😒
Yea this is going to be one of my last vid🤦🏽♂️😐
