    ISO Pyncheon Bantam Breeder(s)

    Thanks so much for getting back to me. That's what I was afraid of. It's disappointing but not surprising. I'm going to check in with the Livestock Conservancy and one or two other groups to see if they have any other ideas or know of anyone still working with non-hatchery Pyncheons or at least...

    Hi, Lisa. Did you ever find any Pyncheon breeders? I'm about to start searching - just looking for a starting point.

    Hen with hip or foot issue?

    Thank you! There was definitely helpful information in there! We went over her leg pretty well last night and the problem does feel like its her hock. The joint is definitely a bit swollen and has heat. The exact cause isn't clear so were going to have our vet take a look and x-ray if necessary...

    Hen with hip or foot issue?

    I think it's working now. Backwoods internet doesn't like uploading videos!

    Hen with hip or foot issue?

    I'm hen sitting this week for a good friend. This hen, a 2 year old Maran, has had leg/foot problems for about 3 weeks. She'll stand with her weight on both feet but when she walks she puts her weight on the outside of her foot and her hock juts out with each step. I'm attaching a video I took...

    Hen, Very Squishy Overflowing Crop, Weak

    Thank you both very much for the advice! We got her 2nd dose in, she drank some water, then went to sleep while I was cooking her egg. I put a bit of it in her crate in case she wakes up hungry. Fingers crossed that we see some signs of recovery soon. We can certainly make her a crop bra and...

    Hen, Very Squishy Overflowing Crop, Weak

    Thanks very much for replying! My vet talked me through helping empty some of her crop and I was very careful. Same for handling her. My husband has very large hands and may have had a hand in the wrong place. She's been separated since last night. I'll let her have a bit more water with...

    Hen, Very Squishy Overflowing Crop, Weak

    I have an almost 6 year old Auracana hen. Usually healthy with a good appetite. The day before yesterday when she was going for food I saw liquid leaking from her beak. I watched her for a while and she still wanted to eat. I picked her up and her crop was huge and squishy. I helped her drain...

    Hen w/ Eye Injury

    Just a quick update on Carmelita, my Aruacana with the eye injury that looked like ocular Marek's. The vet had her feathers tested at Cornell and we just got the negative result yesterday. He (the vet) has maintained all along that she was pecked in the eye and we have been treating accordingly...

    Hen w/ Eye Injury

    Our vet has been and gone. He'll be back sometime in the next day or two to do the blood draw for Marek's testing. He definitely wants to get a result on that. In the meantime, his opinion is that the eye is injured and trauma can make the pupil contract into that shape sometimes. We're treating...
