what are chances of first time hen to be egg bound???

It can happen, especially if she's not on a healthy diet. But it is definitely a possibility. Do you think you might have an egg bound hen?

no. iwas just checking to see before i breed.Thanks

Make sure your birds are on a varied healthy diet before they breed (and always). Calcium is especially important for the hen.

 

And do tons of research. It would be a great idea to meet with experienced breeders to see how they do things.

 

It also wouldn't hurt to visit a rescue. You might decide that rescue would be more rewarding to you.

Good on you for asking questions and doing research before you start breeding:). That is what makes an okay owner a good and responsible owner/breeder.

I would also find out where your closest avian vet is

And don't worry about asking them a few questions becuase that is where you will get the best answers. :ausb:

:D:blink:

it can happen to any age hen although in my experiance it is mostly 3 years and older hens that suffer
