I do not think it was anything mysterious in Belles case. That was the first thing I thought of though. Oh poop! What if she's got what killed my other two... But when I checked her over, she had nothing going on in that regard yet. I do not know why she fell off the roost, but she broke. I guess if I fell 6 feet in the dark, and landed on cement, I might break too. Even checking her after she's passed, her feathers around her eyes, nostrils, and vent were clean of illness. The reason I as thinking egg bound is she was walking kinda funny last night, like how Buffy would get when she was egg bound. Buffy was Belle Mai's biological mother... So, thinking she may have had the same problem... Well anyway, since both Vanna and the other un named pullet passed, there has been no illnesses.

Well, since she's dead it's pretty easy to find out if she's egg bound or not. I doubt the fall is what killed her, more likely what killed her caused the fall. I've seen them make very klutzy exits from far higher without any injury whatsoever.

very true. I buried her in a box about 2 hours ago... Could always cut her open... Give me a hour.

I don't have a scalpel, will a fillet knife do?

Hello to everyone, I miss having the time to read and chat with you guys. Things are still insane here, still waiting to see how everything will come out. Top of the list is whether we will have our mortgage adjustment approved, or we will be foreclosed on. I realize these things take time, but uuuggghhhh. Waiting sucks. Sure makes it hard to keep putting work into this house and property in the meantime.

Good luck, my parents have been working on an adjustment for over three years. Got to the point of foreclosure several times but with all the new programs/legislature, it keeps getting extended with several trees worth of paperwork. They gave up and moved south a year ago but it looks like it may actually go through this time.

Hello from Dexter! I've got seven girls and four roos, two of which are looking for new homes. Anyone interested?

She's dead. A rusty butter knife once used by Columbus himself will work if it's what you've got.

Hahahaha Olive, that is too funny

ok, that was just plain disgusting!


I did find an egg. I did not find worms. I did find a lot of bruising, some broken bones. I could not determine if there was excess fluid in belly, something dulum... Well anyway... I know nothing.
