***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Off Anderson Rd right? If so I just went and seen her this afternoon. Got 3 GLWs, 2 Speckled Sussex and 2 of the Spitzhaubens. Was going to get Buff Orphingtons but then m bestie discovered the Spitzhaubens and I have been wanting some. Hoping 1 is a roo so I can name him Elvis!

Maybe, I think the place was on Indian Hills Rd. Did it have lots of beautiful palomino paint horses? I fell in love with those horses LOL. I know she has quail on Craigslist, that was how I found her. I needed some babies to go with this one little that hatched. It kept running around crying. Now with the button quail in the incubator I may have two types of quail. What was I thinking! Oh that's right, it was my MIL that bought these! Whew that's better.....Right!
 
i am so glad you took her!! and happy to hear there are vets around that see chickens!
Got back from the Stillwater vet.The little pullet just kept looking up at him and chirping like she was enamored with him lol

sadly i lost my little guy tonite- there obviously was more going on than just the beak- he just quit eating and could last on that- so i now have 4 favs- i'll get pics tomorow-
 
Got back from the Stillwater vet. The guy who saw her is there filling in for a few wks at their Avian Clinic. He's an Avian Veterinarian teacher at Cornell-how cool is that? He said he's literally see thousands of chickens and does surgery on them on a regular basis. My little Faverolles pullet seems to have a wad of grass or straw (probably straw since it's in their pen) wadded up in her crop. He put her under and flushed out what he could but it was too big to pull up through her throat so she's scheduled for surgery Tues AM. I'm SO glad I didn't just do nothing and stuff grit and scratch down her til next week when the other vet wanted to see her back, she'd have probably died. The other vet did tell me he was at a loss though, I don't hold it against him. This Avian vet said it was at such an early stage that he could only barely smell anything once he'd pulled a bunch of gunk out of her crop. That's why the 1st vet couldn't find anything on his stains or under the microscope. He sent home antibiotics and some high calorie liquid food (that she loves). Some food is getting through her system because it's coming out the other end. Hopefully this high calorie liquid stuff will sustain her enough to keep her going til surgery, she's thin but not dangerously so at this point but surgery is 4 days away yet.
He was also telling the vet student what a wonderful breed Faverolles were and this was the perfect chicken breed for her introduction to chickens because they're so docile and easily handled

I hope everything goes great - what a relief to know what's wrong with her! I'm glad you found a place that can give you some good information and are so willing to treat her. (I worked at the OSU Vet Med Library as one of my work-study jobs when I was in college.)
 
Just a quick note to say hey and wish everyone a merry POOPS Day tomorrow. Think of me at work while you are having all that fun.

My dogs have been fighting off something at night. My female Pyr paid a visit to the vet today. Got her stitched up.

Picking up 2 more GPs this weekend. Two big males for reinforcements.

Ms White, I'm thinking boy but really hoping girl, what do you guys think?

Gary calls this the "broccolli tree" they love sitting under and on this plant.


They love dust bathing almost as much as eating.

Spectacular photos as always, Kass - thanks for posting. NNs still give me the heebie jeebies a little bit, though.
