Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Shra requires at least 2 chickens....



And my tax.View attachment 3619355

How many EE’s do you have?

Although not exactly classic lash egg, I do think the curd you dissected looks like pus. That could be from salpingitis or maybe infection in the gut itself given her other symptoms.
Infected pus could also be secondary to another lesion like a tumor. It is hard to rule out although an X-ray may be able to spot something.
Poor girl.
@BY Bob is the expert on antibiotics if you can access any - but if you were to try and treat her then a broad spectrum antibiotic would be best as you don't know the nature of the organism.

I emailed pictures to the vet earlier, also called recently with the thought that was pus. The thing is I suspect Butters but can't be sure. But her blood work did show some inflammation at the time. I have Baytril on hand.

That is hilarious - but SHRA Tax requires more than one chicken. Does she have a friend?

No SHRA tax, I wanted ideas from everyone.

I suspect that is the right antibiotic - but maybe wait until you are sure it is Butters. One way to be sure is put a paper plate under her rear end under the roost at night so it catches specifically her poop.

Evidence it's not - I've been out with them a ton today, Butters pooped twice more after that watery one, no blood or waxy stuff, and the last one looked great, well-formed, though still a light green and bits of things in it. Did you birds poop that color when on Exact? Or you used something else? I don't remember, it might have been @micstrachan ...

I used a different brand but probably similar.
I do remember green poop - but that may have been part of the disease rather than the feed. Hard to be sure.
Glad Butters has good poops too - that has to be good!

When I was a child, my mother would tell us that aspirin is a good birth control pill. She told my sister that all she needed to do was hold the aspirin between her closed legs! (That’s an old joke)

No, it's actually birth control for men.

Put it in his shoe and it makes him limp.

Gathered eggs and all the watermelon was gone. I guess someone decided to eat it after all. Tried to have a moment with the kiddos...but the terrible trio had to butt in.

Sorry for my short absence- School has been keeping me very busy. Although, it is my birthday today. I got many chicken shirts, a pair of chicken earrings, a swing for the chooks, and cowgirl boots that have chooks on them! I also got a new phone... no more awful pictures from Pastel! Well, I need to set up my phone, and I need to ask you all for a favor. Keep my two guineas that passed away in mind. Today is their hatchday. Also wish their brother that I have, Russell, a happy hatchday!

I wondered where you had been! Looking forward to good pictures! Happy Hatchday Russell!
