Thank you for the answer^-^

Aww im sorry to read she did not make it...i sure hoped other way....sorry for loose... never easy...seizure...aww sad...sorry again...

That sounds really good what you got there, this set up^-^ wow nice!! and great you found a good poultry/bird vet who did help you nicely from sound of it... ,they are sure worth it to find and keep them

Do you got something like kwik stop styptic power in your first aide kit? People say it can be good for bleeding claws/nail..

Egg bound, ...great that she got healed from it does this happen often...every chicken possible or happens to some breeds more often..? Did read here and there about it, but not how to not to get this...like the right minerals or vitamine...grit..or something...?: may have over looked it..

I do not have kwik stop but i will be sure to add it!

I believe it is more commonly found in breeds of high egg production such as Leghorns, Sex-linked Hybrids, Rhode Island Red, Sussex, Barred Plymouth Rock, and New Hampshire Reds. It can be caused by lack of calcium, obesity, large or misshapen eggs, infection, premature laying, lack of exercise, or malnutrition. Our hen wasnt eating the oyster shells we feed them and therefore had no calcium for her egg. The vet gave her liquid calcium shots (weird right?!) and she layed the egg 36 hours later

Thank you for the answer really interestkng to know, what to look out for and possible breeds to stay away from when new, i think!
