You're right I didn't! I'm allowed to be a little bird brained though, having had no sleep in almost 3 days Thanks for the good wishes everyone <3

Could she still get this again with no oviduct?! I truly hope not :S Mychookschick, it was lucky that I'd decided to save up for my very first holiday or else I wouldn't have had the money either! It took a very long time to save up but I need her much more than a holiday, she's definitely...

I'm having problems with my RIR x hen Gladys, yesterday morning her poop was like see through/water with green matter in the middle, she was drinking alot too so I adjusted the airflow and gave her some electrolyte fluid, then put her on chick crumbs to thicken her poop; it's worked so far but...
