Don't let this happen to you......

I went out to the coop one day to let my chickens out to free range, and I noticed that one of my hens was acting 'off'. Her tail was drooped, she was lethargic, and she was keeping to herself. I thought she might be egg bound, a condition where a hen can't pass an egg out of her body. 

I didn't have the supplies to give her the suggested epsom salt bath and vaseline treatment needed. So I quickly jumped in the car and picked up the necessary supplies. I came home and ran the water for her epsom salt bath. I soaked her for 20 minutes, placed on my latex gloves and used the vaseline. After a moment that was uncomfortable for us both - I could tell that she had an egg inside of her. She soaked a little while longer and I placed her in one of our pullet playpens in the garage with some food and electrolytes in her water. The next day she laid an egg and she was back to her old self.

What I learned was that I wasn't prepared for an emergency for my backyard flock. I have dealt with dog attacks, egg bound issues, sick chickens and more. I decided to create a first aid kit that would help you out in times of an emergency.
