Happy had an autopsy/Necropsy done. We just had to know what happened to her. Was she egg bound? Did she have worms? Did an egg break inside of her?
The lumps that were hard as a rock was two large tumors. By the size of them they look like they have been growing for a long while now. But who...
Today I noticed that below Happy's vent it is swollen. Her crop is empty and I can feel is her rib cage, and she has a swollen area below her crop. She is not looking good :-(

The vet has not called me back. He is a...
Our hen "Happy" (2 years old) has not been feeling well for a day and a half now. She is having diarrhea, eating and drinking very little, she is having trouble balancing and today she started yawning a lot. We were thinking she was Egg Bound, but I was speaking with our Vet and he does not...
So one of our girls layed some eggs under the house. Here are some pictures one of them. Is this egg fertilized or rotten? We are in Florida so it has been above 95 for some time now.
