Update, she still has the egg (I can feel it so easy and her bum looks heavy) but she's doing completely fine now?? Full appetite and thirst, walking around scratching and pecking like normal.. so weird. Best case scenario she passes that egg with ease over the next week and lives to see at...

So quick update, I put her in the yard yesterday to join her with her flockmate and she went immediately to the nest box to try to lay. She was unsuccessful but is still much more perky and able to pass bowels around the egg, which I can still feel in her abdomen and can see from a distance her...

Egg hasn't passed but she's drinking on her own and able to pass a very worm/string like poop every 3 or so hours. Would getting her up and moving around a bit help or should I just let her rest? Thanks

Okay thank you for letting me know. For now she's resting in the kennel again with a heating pad on low underneath. I'll lay off the soaking for tonight. I couldn't feel an egg as when I got my finger in I felt her squeeze tightly and shot another tiny amount of poop/fluid out. Afterwards I...

I have her in her 2nd warm bath rn and it seems to relax her. It's definitely a stuck egg, as it's moved closer to her cloaca so I think theres some hope yet. Right before putting her in the wash tub I massaged her abdomen SUPER gently to locate egg and she projectile pooped some white with a...

Hi all, I have an older hen who was already an older Unknown age when I found her dumped by somebody and she's been with me for 3 years. Last night she ate like normal and had a big poo before bed but this morning she was lethargic and wouldn't come out of the coop. I managed to get her to drink...

Hi all, i have a pet white silkie and my girlfriend wants to dye her wingtips and tail for easter fun. My concern is that will make her much more visible to predators as she and my other chicken have free range of the back yard during the day. The only predators we have to worry about in our...

Thank you, i had her in a cooler outside because i cant keep a chicken in my family fridge, she unfortunatly half froze but the people im sending it to would probably have frozen on the way because of how cold it is outside right now

Thank you. I found a place to necropsy, hopefully its not contagious. Other two birds are still a okay, if only confused where their friend is

Hi, my beloved ameraucana just died suddenly, im hoping i can send for necropsy. she was having some respitory symptoms for almost a week -slight wheezing, sudden cough that came on this morning- but was eating and behaving normally, she even jumped up to bed like normal this evening, and my...

Omg thanks for reminding me!! She started late october and had about 3 weeks of steady lay before shutting down for winter, heres a pic, all the blues are hers

I'm having a peculiar issue, the songbirds aren't eating their food or becoming too numerous, but around 5-10 small songbirds are repeatedly using the water dish as a bath. Im worried they are making my chickens drink parasites, and ive seen some fairly heated battles where my one chicken races...

Warranty for sure

Looks well sealed and lightweight at the same time

Good point 🤔
