Gasp! What a horrible story. Sorry you had to find that.I would totally get it tested. If they threw poisoned bread that has to be against the law.
When I was a young teenager I came home to find someone had battered our new kittens against the wall and beat their brains out - it was truly awful - the police took it very seriously though they never caught whoever was responsible.
I just don't understand some people and their attitude to other animals.
It’ll be interesting to see whether there is a yolk. Buttercup is laying fairy eggs and nothing else. Concerned for her, along with the others having issues.No, but that picture is a from a while ago. I'll try to take and post another one today when I get home so you can see its current condition.
I did that (ended up inside a quote) recently, too!Since the update, you can quite easily end up inside the quote. I uploaded a picture yesterday that somehow ended up inside the quote. I deleted it and repositioned it.
Spectacular photo!!! Card worthy. Save that for the next time the calendar photo contest is up!I had to fish Violet out of the pine tree again tonight. I made sure to take advantage of the situation first...

And a couple of messy mugs too, a cottage cheese treat caused a bit of a flurry.

I don’t know the answer, but they seem to turn their vents inside out to poop and lay. If there is poop build up right up against the vent (like I found on a couple birds this weekend... another reason I wormed) and if that clean, moist tissue touches poop, why not?OK I'm on board with traveling E. Coli but I don't see yet how poopy feathers back near the vent is going to cause bacteria getting into the uterus/oviduct. Isn't there some E. Coli inside the hen already? That may be my first error in thinking about this. Is there not? If not, then a colony of E.Coli in a bunch of poopy feathers or stuck bits outside the vent could be a problem? It could send out little armies of bacteria to explore and some go back up in there? They travel fast, in between poops coming the other way?
If there's poop that is causing an adult pasty butt situation and things can't move along well and there's a backup, maybe a little bit of poop takes a turn and goes in the opening to the uterus, I'm thinking appendix analogy here? And if eggs can go backwards they could bring stuff back in further?
If we clean the feathers and vent area religiously can we prevent salpingitis?
They’re adorable!I am myself. Here’s me with the littles in the coop, just taken 5 minutes ago. I don’t need to give treats. They just love me and that’s it. (No meally worms in my pocket either)View attachment 2625871View attachment 2625875
