Thats what I was thinkin'....hoping that maybe i missed something about this breed developing combs really fast or something. 🤪 I already have 3 roosters...and they're all three very sweet. Too bad for "Henry". 😏🤷‍♀️

Any chance my 3 1/2 week old BCM is still Henrietta? That comb is lookin awfully prominent!

Thanks...no...i never found anything in there...no egg, no poopball, nothing...just soft flesh. She just kept pushing it out no matter how many times I pushed it in or how long I held it there. She was able to pass small poop sausages, and lots of white smudge, tho I think she must have been...

Thanks veryone for the advice! I'll definitely be ready if this happens to another hen. Unfortunately despite all my efforts Melany didnt survive her blowout. 😔

Wow...interesting video, but no...no egg in there...and the prolapse in the video is so much less alarming looking than what my Melanie is pushin out! 😬

Yes...two openings. She has actually pushed MORE out a couple of times, but now she mostly just has the bigger side sticking out....and its much darker now...purple! I had to leave her for half the day today to teach a class, so I grabbed some calcium citrate...couldnt find any with D3, so i...

Thanks for the quick reply! I can give her one of my mom's Tums, but how do i get her to eat it? Shes not interested in food or water? Im not sure if i can do it, but I'll try attaching some pics from different angles...

Hi all, I have a young hen about 1 1/2 yrs old, who I found in the run a few hours ago with a major vent prolapse goin' on. She had a couple of almost egg-sized red blobs hanging out of her vent. She was still walking around the run, but wouldn't come get treats with the rest of the...

Yeah...I'm 90% sure it was Mabel, cuz of the brown shell, but that wierd extra "clay/mud" coating is just too bizarre...i cant find anything like it online! Maybe Mabel is just a one of a kind bird! 😝 she's got some kind of funky gland in there! 🤪 I'll post if i get anything like it again...

It didnt feel like calcium tho...it felt very much like a dried mud or clay. I didnt try real hard, but it didnt seem like it would come OFF the shell. I probably should have gotten it wet before I chucked it...to see how soluble it was, but honestly it was kinda creeping me out. I think...

Ok I'm stumped. I've been scouring the internet and i cant find anything like it. At first I thought it was a lash egg, but when i drummed up the nerve to open it, it was a totally normal egg inside! On the inside, the shell seems like any other...complete with the shell membrane. But on the...

Ok, so if anyone remembers my Maria/Mario chick question a couple months ago...turns out its Mario. 😏 ...i ended up with 6 out of 7 cockerels in that brood... 😵‍💫🤯 Soooooo...i quickly ordered another dozen eggs and the chickies are now almost 6 weeks old. I've figured most of them out, but...

thaaaaanks...that's two of my dreams you've crushed today! ;-) ...care to go for a third and fourth with my black astrolorp and buff brahma? (NO DONT!!! 😫) LOL! I love your sig quote! Too funny!

yeah...his older sister doesn't have any feathers that long back there...guess it's time to accept it. :confused:

Thanks everyone! Yeah...I was trying to convince myself that the three rows on the comb(which has indicated cockerel in every chick in this coop :-\ ) might just be a fluke, but yeah...he's got a "boy" look to his face too...just like his forefathers did :-\ He was my last hope for some eggs...
