    Updated info: Inflammed cecum/gizzard - why? Warning: necropsy pics

    I found this bit about coccidia. I'm wondering if this explains it. Perhaps I should treat the flock with Coccidiastat just in case. The number of infective coccidia consumed by the host is a primary factor as to the severity of the resulting infection. An infection may be mild enough to go...

    Updated info: Inflammed cecum/gizzard - why? Warning: necropsy pics

    Well, a subclinical virus is a good thought but I bought the hen as an adult and she was very healthy, normal weight, normal all around. But maybe the cold weather lowered her immune response? Based on her condition, I'd say she declined over a period of the last couple of weeks. I say this...

    chick wont stop chirping update def. sick need advise

    I had a chick like that this past fall- it never shut up! It peeped constantly- on the top of it's lungs. Now it's a most beautiful Silkie! And totally healthy. And extremely friendly. Some human babies are colicky and noisy. But they can be just fine once they get through it, right...

    Updated info: Inflammed cecum/gizzard - why? Warning: necropsy pics

    I checked over the hen's digestive system again today. There was no torsion that I could find. There were mostly shavings with some white hard pieces- oyster shell, I think- in her gizzard. There's a small maybe ulcer on the lining of the gizzard cuticle. Can someone check the pic and tell...

    Trio of ducks- free -Maine

    "I wold take them but your to far away from me" Well, shoot. I wish they hadn't become pets to me- I actually raised up a dozen of them - we put their siblings in the freezer this fall. The problem is now these kids have names and have crossed that fine line from food to friends!

    Quote: Hmm- I didn't know sand could do that. Where I live our soil is *extremely* sandy (I live in Maine). Hopefully that's not happening to my birds. If sand impacted her gizzard, wouldn't I have seen a lot of sand in there rather than shavings? Or not neccessarily? I know that...

    I'm going to thaw my hen check her over a little more closely. Any other tips? I'm going to disect the entire disgestive tract and see what I can find. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think she must have had a blockage, like the recent post mentions. It's makes the most...

    Trio of ducks- free -Maine

    Trio includes: Two Pekin Drakes about 9 mo. Murray McMurray. Someone who knows ducks told me the one drake will clean up the ribbons at any poultry show. *shrug* I don't know a thing about duck confirmation! One blue hen- no idea about her breed or age. Cute as a button, though. Can...

    Roos- Silkies and Showgirls- Free- Maine

    Oh dear; five of our Silkie and SG "hens" have turned into roosters. I have one breeding quality white SG roo- kind of pains me to have to part with him. Nice topknot, tight wings and good feather shredding, dark blue skin, small rose comb, blue ears and small wattles. Friendly fellow, too...

    Holy Helpful Post, Batman! I'm going to investigate some more the points you brought up, dlhunicorn. I've never heard of the fish meal histidine issue- wow! I love learning new stuff like this. Fascinating! Is it helpful to know we have fish (broiled) a few times a month and give the...

    Updated info: Inflammed cecum/gizzard - why? Warning: necropsy pics

    One of my most lovely hens died today. These Silkies are so fuzzy- I had no idea she was absolutely emaciated and dehydrated until I picked her up. Keel bone protuding and complete muscle loss. Being a Pre-vet student, I was curious about her cause of death, as the other chickens are fine...

    Handcrafted Unicorn and Pegasus wall clock- **SOLD***

    Oh, I'm sorry Miss Prissy. Didn't know there was a bump rule. Wonder why there is one? Also, one would think it would be easy enough to circumvent. Cjeanean- Thanks. I don't mind if it goes for cheap. I'd rather someone have it to enjoy than it sit gathering dust on a shelf here. I'm...
