Date sort Score sort
If you have a vet that works with poultry maybe he can check her to see if it is 2 holes connected together or 2 separate ones all together. He might then be able to sew one shut if they are connected, as not to confuse the roo..lol OK, I have to ask, does this mean she is bi sexual?? Sorry couldnt help it.. Jenn
 
LOL She was with a roo, and he tried but she threw a fit...There aren't any vets here that are familiar with poultry...
 
That's just weird...

I'm sure a veterinary school would like to look at that.
 
That is VERY interesting...

Same thing happens in humans from time to time. A woman can have two uteri, cervixes, vaginas and openings, or she can have two uteri that merge at some point to have only one opening. There is even a documented case of a woman pregnant with two babies at the same time - one in one uterus and one in the other that were conceived a couple months apart. One was born, then a couple months later she had the other one. Can you imagine?

Nature has some pretty strange twists from time to time. Humans AND chickens included.

For your hen my only concern would be if she has the propensity to become egg bound. On the possible positive sides (I guess...) she might be able to lay more than one egg a day if she has two complete reproductive tracts...

Thanks for sharing the pics.
 
Yeah, I have a friend who is a twin in herself....Unfortunately, she has cancer, and had to have 2 uteri and 4 ovaries taken out...So I just hope she doesn't get bound!
 
Well Crystal, I have seen many abnormal birth defects over the years. But a two vented chicken is a first for even me. But is you really wasnt to find out about this hen, you should contact the University of Wyoming at Laramie. They have a vet school there that would love to check your hen out. I believe the number is 307-766-2224. If this is not correct, they will direct you to the correct number.
 
Oh, thank you!! My SO says this isn't a rare thing...I tend to think so, as most of you well-knowing chicken people say so!!
