Guys... I noticed several weeks ago that my oldest girl Sweet Tater Serama had not laid any eggs, but seemed perfectly ok. Shes now about 2 years old so fairly young! I figured she was just pouting because of the new girls on the block having hatchlings and she didnt! Today I found her all puffed out and walking very slowly, as if she were either broody or trying to entice the new baby that belonged to tuwanda. When I got closed to her I noticed her eyes were closed and she would walk a step or two then strain as if to poop! I grabbed her up and brought her to the bathroom sink and floated her in very warm water fro about 15 minutes. She toatally relaxed , enough so that her legs just floated behind her. She was still straining so I lifted her tail to see what was going on. .......Now these photos are really up close and graphic....... As you can see she is extended and the interior "bulls-eye" goes in and out as she pushes. She isnt pushing it out any more than you see here. There is no inflamation...but I dont know what to do! Is this egg bound or something else??? there are NO Avian vets here at all . I need your help!!
