Wow did I misread that! I misread guppies as puppies. 😂 I was trying my hardest to imagine what breed they would be. My imagination drummed up the most sissified pink poodle mix. As for the real Pinkie, he's amazing. I love when nature and I guess DNA come together and make the prettiest colors...
Thank you Eggcessive. I think we are on the right track. I have no intention of using her eggs for anything. I suspect there is something more to this. I have had a few strange deformities in my frizzles this year. I'm not even sure how to figure out or if there is even a way to weed out the...
Eggcessive if you read this... I looked up wry neck and it's definitely not that. Wry neck I have dealt with before. Floppy neck, head upside down, "stargazing" as they call it. This is almost like extra vertebrae. Her neck is the only off thing. It's S shaped. Nothing to do with the crop or any...
Hey BYC family. Hope everyone had a Merry Chickmas and a henny New Year. I come bearing an interesting situation. My little frizzle Pullet Popcorn, presents with a very oddly shaped neck. See photos. I tried to get decent pictures of it but as everyone knows chickens, like children, they don't...
Wow thank you to all of my heroes here. I guess I really don't know my shit🤣 in retrospect I did wonder why her poop the night before looked like a puddle of water with small black balls in it. Leave it to my overactive imagination to run with it. Although Star, the proud purveyor of the poop...
In all my time with guineas, chickens and turkeys and the odd rescue here and there, never have I ever laid eyes on this beaut. The first picture is what my house chicken pooed yesterday the second is my other house chicken Onzo's gift. Both, to me, appear to be round worms. Having made that...
Thanks again guys for going through this with me. I did the necropsy on his crop and surrounding throat passage up to his beak and the only thing present was food particles. Not even in a ball like it felt from the outside. My husband postulated that maybe he couldn't digest because his gizzard...
Update. Sadly Sugar Cookie passed this morning. I hate to risk sounding cold hearted but it truly was the best. I was spending most of our last hours together fighting to keep his airway open. Not the life I want for any of my babies. I intend to do a partial necropsy on his gigantic throat...
Peashack. I just noticed that my autocorrect changed your name to peasant? I am so heartily sorry. I didn't proofread like I usually do and now I understand why proofreading is important.
Thank you peasant. As i get older but not wiser probably I have come to realize and value the sacredness of life and how intertwined we are with one another for our existence. Now I don't want to sound like a lunatic but I consider myself an animal rescuer and where possible a rehabber. I have...
Thanks guys. Upon checking the Merk manual and the AI information they propose that trichomoniasis presents with oral lesions. Then as it progresses it coalesces into ocular discharge. He has had zero problems with his eyes. I started him on the Miconazile but again I wasn't staying consistent...
Oh jeez. I just read up on canker and I think you might be right. If so shouldn't it resolve metronidazole? Also how long before I can try it again, the withdrawal period I think it's called?
Hi Egg. He's still kicking, I don't know how. It's clearly yeast, I think, because I can see it. He has a huge lump. It's smaller than a baseball but larger than a golf ball. I did the route with Miconazile but my fault, he missed doses. Not sure if it will work if I do it again after a period...
Sorry Big Blue Hen but with the money they charge I don't see them going broke any time soon I paid $1200 when my dog ate mattress foam and got a tummy ache. Then $600 when she got Salmon fluke. And $300 to cremate my dog when she died. My husband makes decent money and excellent credit but...
Ok I don't want to be "that person" but there are some unscrupulous people in the animal business who do not always have your pets best interest in mind. They will beware the lawsuits and bow to the bank. These are the selfsame folks who will forgo telling you how to avoid a $700 bill in their...
I heartily agree with the other members that this was both informative and helpful. From the sound of it, the general consensus is that there are a great number of chickens who lived because of this post. Thank you ever so much and best of health to you and yours.
