Its expensive and very dangerous, so I won't be doing that. That's generally reserved for hens who repeatedly become egg-bound (when the egg is basically stuck) to the point where their lives are in real jeopardy. Kiwi's never been egg-bound, thank goodness, and hopefully never will be. Some birds are prone to it, just as some women need a C-section every pregnancy (like my cousin) because their hips/etc are too narrow for safe natural childbirth. Some birds have smaller...egg-laying parts.
