That's one of them sitting facing forward on the edge of the poop board. I guess I need to read up on that condition.

When I go my hands on them to check it is not a mass. Rather it is like the neck is crooked.

Well I tried to take a picture on the roost last night but you can't really see it well enough with the bird not up and going I will try to figure something out this evening. I've had a bit of trouble getting a picture this week because I can't get home before dark

I have a hen that has like a mass on the side of her neck. It is under the feathers and doesn't appear to be a wound of any kind and it's somewhere between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball. Does anyone know what this might be it's on actually two and one is struggling to walk and stay...

Okay I could use some more laughs. After spending my vacation week prepping and building stuff for winter. Gee what did you do for vacation? Animal chores *sigh*

Thanks.

Thanks

Warning graphic photos! I took pictures of her backed up a little bit so it wasn't so abstract and then I took pictures of the mass I pulled out and what it looks like after I cut it open.

I will check her when I get home and take a picture again. I honestly don't think it's a prolapse or an egg on the outside anyway the vent seems normal but this mass is below it and much bigger than an egg.

I guess in my attempt to do a close up it does look more like an abstract. I will do my best to give you what information I can but my chickens are just farm animals and so I have a limited knowledge base on them individually. Anyway I noticed Sunday afternoon when I let them out for a little...

That's great information, but I don't think that's what's going on because nothing is actually coming out of her vent it's below at the base and back of her body and it's hard and of course all the skin around it is real red at this point. At least it was last night I'm not sure she survived the...

I checked in the vent tried putting her in some warm water and gave her some lube but I don't feel any egg but there's a huge hard Mass bigger than my fist at the back of her

Well, since you said fellas

I lost two to a hawk in September, so this was an early Christmas present from my friend who raises Marans.

Thank you. I thought so, but the rest of mine are pure black copper Moran and this is a purebred Moran from my friend who raises them but it's not black which are really easy to identify.

I think it's a rooster, but my full grown copper Maran's are too easy so I don't have to learn.

Like most I just moved to other things especially when they redid the site, and Sally's thread really died down. I have lost my red's mostly now. First I sold all my chicks one year, the next we got five inches of rain and some dumb hen took them out in the rain so they died, then I got a year...

Truly beautiful. :frow It has been a long time

If anyone e raising heritage rir near Joplin Missouri I need to replace my old hens. Well, really just get some young enough to hatch chick. I lost my roosters last winter and at past five my girls are too old
