On A Wing And A Prayer

This is Michelle reporting to you live from the Palace.  We were a little worried for our Easter Egger sister Nizzy. She has been walking funny, like a penguin and making funny noises. We knew something was really wrong when Farmer B was able to pick her up with out a fuss. She is not one you can pick up very easily. The Farmers suspected she was egg bound. That is where the egg may be too big to pass and can create a blockage.

Farmer B had this idea in her head of what it would be like to be a chicken farmer before we arrived. It looked something like this...

However, recent events with Nizzy have re-framed how Farmer B thinks of chicken farming. The Farmers had to research what to do with an egg bound chicken. The "how to" videos were horrifying. Giving Nizzy a spa bath to soak was one thing, but if that didn't work... Farmer B would have a new title: Dr. Farmer B, Chicken Gynecologist. (Insert farmer B's face with giant eyes here)

Farmer B had no idea that was part of the deal or even a possibility. She sat at her computer in disbelief trying to find the courage to do what need to be done for Nizzy if the unfortunate occurred and she was not able to pass the egg. She called a few vets to see if there was a way to get out of the impending duty of assisting Nizzy if she couldn't pass the egg.  There wasn't.    
On a wing and a prayer, Farmer B dawned her gloves, put on her best face (which looked like the face she would make if she were being chased by a clown with a machete) and enlisted the help of Little Farmer R. They learned a lot about chicken anatomy that day. A lot they wished they could forget I am sure. Farmer B had to answer many questions by Little Farmer R. It was an uncomfortable day for all involved. Little Farmer R was a trooper though. He gave Nizzy liquid calcium and pedialyte with a syringe. He was very patient and very kind to Nizzy. Farmer B was very proud of Little Farmer R. After a couple of days of modified SPA Treatments, Nizzy seems to be feeling better. The girls and I are getting a little tired of reports that she is getting all the blue berries she wants, special water and getting to sit in the Farmer's lap receiving special love and attention. We also hear that she has her own room and most of all is getting to avoid the Earl!  There are even a few rumors she and the babies have been talking.. oh, and the selfies.  We heard there were selfies. We are not very happy with Nizzy at the moment.
