She can live a long and healthy life is you know what to do to help her. If the egg is low in the vent lubricate your forefinger with mineral oil or KY Jelly and insert it into the vent. With your other hand push gently against the hens abdomen to carefully force the egg toward the vent. If the egg seems to be higher up you may need to apply extra warm humid conditions in a brooder box for a few hours. Temperature about 85F and a relative humidity of 70%. Allow her to rest. Another method for egg-bound hens is to put them in a sink filled with very warm water and hold her there for about half an hour. She will not like this but it works.
The egg came first... kind of. Basically, a long, long time ago two birds that weren't really chickens created the first chicken egg.
Yes, it can! You might also try rubbing olive oil around and just inside the vent, as well as massaging her belly.
It's hatch, and about 30 days.
No. "Egg bound" is when a hen cannot lay an egg, and the egg(s) become trapped in her reproductive system.
The chicken.! the chicken made an egg so the chicken.
The egg, 1st of all because there were eggs long before birds, but if you mean a chicken's egg then it is still the egg. This is because when a new species evolves, the egg is say, given birth to a sub-chicken, and the new species (chicken) is inside the egg, which is techically now a chicken's egg.
It depends, do you want the egg for food or are you going to let the chicken try to hatch chicks?
Nothing, as long as it is not rotten, it is just like eating a chicken egg. A chicken is a bird.
The Lamp goes in your brooder, the eggs go in your incubator. Regards

The egg. Dinosaurs laid eggs long, long before chickens existed.

It takes 21 days for a chicken egg to hatch.
About 2-3 weeks
Eggs do not have a life span but a chicken stays alive for about 7-15 years.
An unfertilized chicken egg that is not collected and refrigerated will eventually start to decay. You can put the egg in a glass of water, if it sinks to the bottom then it is still fresh.
