    I know nothing about chickens, but this reminds me of my grandma. She had chickens and birds pretty much all her life. Whenever a chicken was eggbound (at least I think that's what would happen), she knew just how to massage it so that the egg would come down no problem. Once, my aunt's budgie was eggbound and she was about to take it to the vet and get charged a lot of money. My grandmother took the little budgie, warmed her up and massaged her, within the day there was a small egg in the cage. The budgie survived and lived a long budgie life. Oldschool methods, and no clue how she would do it. Memories of my grandma. Glad to see Fern is doing fine and good to know epsom salt baths work on chickens.

      Yep it is very good and painless remedy for a hen that is egg bound. They usually are not happy at first but when they feel relief they relax. i saved one of my hens this way, she was struggling by being egg bound, then three soaks in warm water- I had no epsom salt, it was Saturday afternoon, no drug store in my are is open at that time - so one soak wasn't enough but 3 soaks helped and she lived happily after that. Although I never thought of using that type of bucket with a lid and a hole in the lid, it looks like very good idea.

    We recently had a week long battle with a hen attempting to have a blowout prolapse after her first double yolker! Little miss Morticia was not dying on our watch! After nearly two weeks of supportive care and manually helping her to lay (i had never in my life been knuckle deep in a hen until then and we had to do it THREE times), shr is finally back to normal!
    A little love, a lot of patience, and being knowledgeable about your animal is all it takes to prevent tragedy. Thats why its called animal husbandry! I hope your girl lives a long, happy life.

    So one of my hens got eggbound with her first egg and all I had were coconut scented Epsom salts. For a solid 2 weeks after she smelled SO GOOD 😂😂
    For everyone asking: I knew she was egg bound because she had the "egg bound wattle" and was making painful moaning noises. She was also barely moving. All the other hens had started laying, so that meant she too was of laying age. I decided to carefully check to see if I could feel a stuck egg (you have to finger the chicken for this lol) and I could feel it. If you're going to try to feel for an egg you have to be super careful to not break the egg! If you can get some Vaseline around the egg that also helps a bit.

    I wish I'd known this method 18 years ago when we had an eggbound hen. The only method my books had was to try to remove it manually and I wasn't able to do so.
