    @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock @coach723 @dawg53 @MysteryChicken New update with miss Marcy, her prolapse has stayed in past 24/hrs even with her pooping so I’m extremely happy about her prolapse progress, her crop feels small and seems to be emptying, so again, very happy. The only issue we’re...

    Vent Prolapse (dead tissue/intestines ??)

    I do, I have some amoxicillin 250mg that was stored in the fridge ! The only problem is that it expired in 2021… I know some people still use medicines past the expiration date but I’m not sure if that okay to do so in a situation like this ? I could always pick up a fresh bottle if you...

    Vent Prolapse (dead tissue/intestines ??)

    Thank you for tips and tricks, I really do appreciate it! I did try the sling about a day ago and it still wanted to pop out but maybe it was because the tissue was to swollen, I’m trying the sling again tonight now that the tissue looks less swollen, fingers crossed it helps the prolapse stay...

    After nearly three years I find out my rooster is a hen! (Questions and concerns!)

    I think you’re right about what she’s crossed with, because I think I remember the lady mentioning golden lace. Seriously it really does, especially when she was younger, her crown looked more pointed then rounded giving her that rocker hair style the polish males are know for.

    After nearly three years I find out my rooster is a hen! (Questions and concerns!)

    I didn’t see this post until now, but rest assure, I put the eggs aside until I could ask the vet if the eggs were safe to eat, and they told me the same thing to wait. But thank you for posting! Because before I asked the vet I was unsure if they were safe tbh.

    After nearly three years I find out my rooster is a hen! (Questions and concerns!)

    I really should have realized sooner, with how many eggs we would get. Some days I would get three eggs in one day, I assumed my Cochin (she lays white eggs too) was a hard working lady, and was laying two eggs some days. I read that Cochins only lay 2-3 eggs a week, but I just thought she was...
