Unfortunately Miss Ripley only lived to 8 months old but she had a great life while she was with us.

Not as far as I know lol. I'm not a subscriber either so I can't look. Thank you. She was a sweet and happy girl. She definitely lived her short life to the fullest :)

Ok everyone, I finally had time to go through the autopsy photos. It's always hard to judge things via pictures but I'll upload them anyway. WARNING! Graphic photos!

Thank you all. She was a special girl and will be missed. I did do an autopsy today. The only thing I can guess is maybe egg bound? But I don't know what that really looks like. Everything else looked pretty normal inside. Liver, heart, lungs all looked healthy. I did take pictures...

I have no idea. It was just so sudden. She was just fine before. I'm wondering what all extras she had inside and if there were complications. Part of me wants to autopsy and see what was going on in there. It was also suggested that we do taxidermy. That's not usually our thing but she was...

I have sad news to report. Our sweet Ripley passed away tonight. I found her listless in the coop this evening when closing up for the night. I did what I could for her but she didn't make it. I held her until She took her last breath. She had no injuries and was perfectly fine earlier. She...

I'll try to get some new pictures in a day or so :)

I just did and I didn't see any bullseyes so I'm guessing they're all infertile.

That's really interesting! You know, I've still never checked her eggs for fertility :oops: I always know which ones are hers though. They're always found in random places and always have a smear of poop on them lol Maybe someday. I'd love to get an xray of her to see exactly what is going...

I need to check when she picks back up on the laying again (DH cooked all her eggs). I don't know how a roo would be able to figure it out though lol

Nope, nothing that I've found. She does need her tooshie washed though. Every now and then, it gets to the point where she needs a cleanup from poo. I have a video of her in the nest box just singing away. I'll have to try to find a way to get it uploaded. DH merit using the eggs so I never...

Hey all! Sorry I've been slacking here. Ripley is doing great and has even started laying eggs! Only 1 a day though, not two. No issues either! She's pretty much stopped like everyone else through with the cold/ dark weather. Now I'm off to check out the 3 legged chick!

:lau

:lau:gig I will be utterly amazed if any of her eggs are ever fertile!

Me Too! She has never had an idea with anyone out there. But you know, I haven't seen any of the boys even attempt to mount her yet..... Maybe they tried when I wasn't looking and decided against ever doing it again? Lol

It's really hard to tell now if the little one is still functioning or not. It's totally hidden behind a bunch of fluff and legs lol. There's no crusties there though so either very little comes out there or she keeps it very clean.

Ripley is growing up! Eggs won't be TOO far away judging by here face!

She's growing up! She's fully integrated in to the flock and doing very well :)

I tried using that. It just said, this url cannot be used :/. Maybe I'll upload to YouTube later and try again. She definitely isn't slowed down at all by her little deformity. DD was out there with me yesterday watching her and she got all excited for a minute because she thought Ripley moved...

Tried just copying the video here but it doesn't want to work. Here's Ripley, out exploring and digging for bugs. https://www.facebook.com/665515010568123/posts/696525694133721/
