I'm so sorry Gaile. Rest in peace little Peggy.
Are you giving them extra calcium Gaile?
I hope Bella hatches Peggys eggs. It would be nice to have a mini-peggy as a reminder of her.

I didn't know that she was egg bound as she never came out of the nest box! plus I don't really know what I'd do!!! An egg bound hen should be provided with undiluted liquid calcium in to beak or crop. The next step is vet if she does pass the egg in a few hours. Touching and pushing the egg to help it pass can be lethal.
