    Latifa's demise: Eggbound or tumors/ cysts? WARNING: GRAPHIC PICTURES OF A CHICKEN

    Thanks everyone for your input and stories. After reading a bit, it looks like the poor girl did have ovarian cysts. (those were cysts in the pictures). Latifa did her job as part of her function in life and taught me a lot about what was wrong with her in her death. I felt compelled to...

    Latifa's demise: Eggbound or tumors/ cysts? WARNING: GRAPHIC PICTURES OF A CHICKEN

    Thanks for your kind observations. I do think she had some kind of cyst issues. I am fortunate to have recognized her dispair in order to dispatch her promptly. The necropsy was so that other could learn from her dispair. Perhaps fatty tumors? I do know that a lot of these appear to have come...

    Latifa's demise: Eggbound or tumors/ cysts? WARNING: GRAPHIC PICTURES OF A CHICKEN

    I believe that these are ovarian cycsts. When I punctured them some had a putrid brown liquid coming out. Others were a slimy clear liquid and others were more like water. The more purple cysts had the brown liquid. Her intestine was also infiltrated by small fatty bumps on it. The poor girl...

    Lathargic Latifa

    Sponsored Post Protecting your chickens from predators in your backyard!

    My Coop is accessible only by jumping 4 feet to the roost then by going into the henhouse which looks like a set of cabinets.. The support poles for the coop are all covered in metal sheets so rats cant climb it. My run is covered in netting and my run also has 6 foot tall slatted cedar fencing...

    Austracoop

    When the girls aren't in their coop or their run, they're out in the backyard, freeranging. But when they're in their coop, this is their home. There is a composter to help with the chicken poo as well as the other yard waste. those are blueberry bushes and an apple tree along the fence...

    Quote: I use trex boards with slats where i put branches where htey roost. under the whole span of the coop (which looks like a 8 foot long cabinet set suspended 4 feet off the ground on poles) is a set of garden trays/bins (the ones that they use for carrying dirt with handles). I also have...

    8 months old and moulting; in the winter?!?!?

    my chickens also have a min or max moult. the max moult looks like a chicken exploded and I have to count to make sure I have them all lol. They always seem to do it nov-dec for me right smack in the middle of winter. I have a nice infrared heater (no fire hazard) in the coop though.
