I believe she was eggbound. She was having difficulties laying an egg today. Was straining to lay. I got some help here on the board (gave her a warm bath, gave some tums and put her in a box in the bathtub w/ shaving and a towel), but was to late. Heard a commotion in the bathroom went and she was having convulsions and then just died. The day before where she normally lays her eggs she laid an egg w/ no shell (just the yolk and white part). And the day before that there was an egg shell only no insides of the egg.

Lisa, I do still have 3 of her eggs that I did not refridgerate. When is Bryce's class doing incubation? The three eggs I have are from 3/10-3/12. I have shut my incubator off because I've got the one hen sitting on those eggs. I do have another broody that is sitting on 15 eggs right now. I just went in to check on this hen and boy she did not like me coming in there. Wondering if tonight at dark if I could sneak 3 of her eggs out and put 3 of Sarafina's eggs under her.
