hope someone can help.........i looked at my female society.............she was hanging around on the bottom of the cage. i found a broken egg on her vent! it does look like she did pass the egg........she is eating , and drinking water, just seems a little weak.........what should i do?

I wish I knew what the answer was
Hope she comes through it fine.

hi, i just put my society under heat........seems like she did pass the egg..........and here im going out of town she is really weak

Maybe try a drop of liquid calcium to her beak? she may have broken the egg if she is low on calcium reserves. does the egg seem whole otherwise? hopefully no broken bits left inside her. feed her egg food and eggshell, keep her warm like you are doing. best of luck! hope your little girl does fine!!

Calcium and heat is a must. If she is on the ground, this is usually not a good sign. Females can get very distressed easily with egg binding. If you are worried, take her to the vet. I can tell you, having lost 4 female canaries, and one female finch to eggbinding, it is a largely fatal condition.

thank u guys for all your advice..........seems like little Coco, did pass the egg..........there was one in their water dish..........the one on her vent was cracked. she is doing much better today. there are like 5 eggs in the nest, she is sitting on them. i dont know if they are fertile or not..............ill keep everyone posted

Sandy, I'm glad she is doing better! Not much worse than having to be away while one of the little ones needs you. You've probably already done this, but don't forget to leave her with plenty of oyster shell and/or eggshell and/or cuttlebone to help her replenish her calcium.

I look forward to hearing about new babies!

Congrats Sandy!!!!! I am glad she is doing better and congrats on the eggs!
