My Lavender Orpington Megara is 2.5 years old & has consistently had issues with her bum feathers being ingrown. This particular spot wound up being just about a full feather by the time I was able to coax it out back in September/October. The wound you’re looking at in the picture, is where the...

Yes, I'm sending her to the NJ state lab for it, thanks for making sure I send her to the best place :)

How's your Sweet Pea doing? We had to put my girl down yesterday 😭 she took a turn for the worse the night before and I wasn't going to make her suffer. Poor Minnie looked miserable for the first time. She lost even more weight, and even though her belly stayed distended the whole time, with...

I heard back from my vet just now, they’re going under the assumption that it’s a lash egg. Supposedly there isn’t really a test to confirm it. My girl starts antibiotics tomorrow as soon as I can pick them up. Maybe it’s the same for your Sweet Pea. He also recommended limiting lighting to 8-10...

Today she "pooped" a larger blob- this is what it looks like when it's not a solid blob.

Thanks for the link!

Here's what Minnie "pooped" out today

I don't have a clue what it is. I have the same thing my Australorp is "pooping" she hasn't been laying since her hard molt, and winter here as well. If you figure it out, let me know! If you find my post, you can see everything I've already tried. Vet still hasn't been able to tell me what's...
