The Final Necropsy Report for my Australorp Hen came back--Cause was Liver Rupture from Fatty Liver Disease. She was 2.5 years old and the Ovaries were still active.

The tests were none detected for Salmonella, Avian Influenza and Bacteria.

That's a good report. I'm sorry you lost the hen, but it's good to know your flock is in good shape.
are Australorps prone to fatty liver disease?

Ron. I didn't see it on the report but do you know if Davis tests for mg?

Good morning everyone. If you count pumpkins who decided she is only sitting on eggs in the afternoon and evening I have 10 broodies and 1 flirting with it. Add that I have 4 hens with chicks and I have almost as many sitting as laying.

One of the breese is thinking about it too....

So I finally have a rooster that I might be able to keep.

Melvin is 17 weeks now, and he only makes a weird, sheep like ("baaaaa") when crowing. He was injured at 1 week old, and had a huge cut on the back of his neck. I'm thinking that might have effected his ability to stretch out his neck to crow. He's trying to "get with" all the girls now, so if he was going to do a full on crow, I would think he'd be doing it by now. Am I getting my hopes up too soon?

Very pretty <3

Liz dare to dream! But his crow is not done changing. It could still stay but it will keep changing for a while.

Here is hoping you keep your mutant sheep!

Yes, BAs and Orps are prone to it. I have been feeding to help avoid it since the first one died of it at 9months old.

I think they will if you ask them too. The test reported was Avian Influenza.

The initial report is:
