    Help! Chick with large abdomen?

    I have a week old splash laced Wyandotte and she has a very distended belly that is rock hard. She is active and eager to eat and otherwise normal. My theory is constipation. She doesn’t have pasty butt and doesn't seem to be mushy chick. Poo details: She has normal size little healthy...

    We Thought She Was Egg Bound... It's Pyometra!

    I just wanted to relay the story of the past week with my chicken since I couldn't find much info on it while it was happening. It is about Chooch, my 2 and a half year old silkie. She is very small, only about 2.4 lbs. She was egg bound once before when laying her first egg, but had never been...

    Ascites In Backyard Chickens

    Yesterday was the day I had been dreading for some time. It was the day Butter let me know she was ready, even though I wasn’t.

    Possibly An Internal Layer *GRAPHIC PICS*

    I have been putting off asking about my 3 yo BO hen, Butter, but I have finally gotten up the courage and am ready to hear the truth. Late last summer I noticed her abdomen was larger and harder than normal. About this same time I believe she stopped laying. During and after molting, the...
