Well, shite. Had to take out an egg bound hen this afternoon and that just plain sucks. If you know anything, you know once they are well and truly egg bound there is no hope. This ole hen has been babied and had her hiney washed more that any hen wants but we just could not get things to work.

To be humane and put her on out of her misery we took her out this afternoon. Thank goodness hubby was around to do the deed and told me to go away and not watch.

Never easy to take any life but it was the humane thing to do since she could not even get on the roost any longer.

Compared to the hive burning that has gone on with Fur this is no thing but never easy.
