Seriously?! I need to go check that out. Reminds me of the duck w/ the foot growing from it's head. My cousin sent me a pic the other day of a hairless cat that didn't have any eyes. I couldn't tell if it never had eyes, or if something happened and they had to be removed, but it def had eye sockets. It was very evil looking.
That is why I do not like poultry shows. I'd considered letting the girls do 4H & enter their chickens in the fair, but then I realized the risk and that was the end of that.
That poor bird! Great rescue job! Once I was house sitting and heard something going on down in the basement. I went down to let the dog go out and found that the cat had brought in a live grackle. I eventually got it out, but it was like a scene from a movie w/ how ridiculous it got before I got a hold of it, cat watching the whole time like Hey! That's my dinner, back off! but at least there were no witnesses.
That's even worse. I hope someone puts a shoe in their backsides. Seriously, that should be prosecuted.
BYC is an amazing resource. I think most people end up here b/c of google.
I am so stupid! I just remember there's a chicken symptom checker website! I'm so sorry I didn't think of it before. I hope it helps!

And is there a 'don't have chickens again' period or some procedures you should follow to make sure you're not bringing in new birds just to expose them too.
I'd suggest Craigslist if nothing else works. You could try putting an add in the newspaper too. Hopefully you can find him a good home.
Poor little guy. Hopefully he's learned his lesson.
Wow, he's beautiful!
