Egg-bound

[Shaky]

My corn laid 17 and is egg bound with the last four.
Questions:
1. Anyone ever seen egg-bound eggs that actually were good and survived?
2. Whats the rate of success with oxytocin use?
3. If the eggs are aspirated, how long should I wait before she passes them
4. How often do they NOT pass after aspiration?
5. Any suggestions on breeding an egg-bound female next year?
Thanks a bunch for any answers.

I've gone through this, it is not fun. My snow had one egg stuck a few years back. Oxytocin did not work. Aspiration did, it passed within 24 hours or less. I did not breed her the next year, but the year after she had no problems, lots of healthy eggs.
