Rupture Of Oviduct

Categories: Poultry Keeping

I have had two other hens die suddenly when on the nest. The second one

- we opened and found one egg broken near the vent and another with

shell formed ready to be laid.



Rupture of the oviduct was probably the cause of the hens dying on the

nest and is due to the same condition in the hens; that is, the

straining to expel the egg necessary in the engorged condition of the

internal organs from overfatness.
