Something Coming out of my RIR's Vent!!

thank you, Imp!

I have also been in contact with our local extension office. I emailed him the photos and he might be sending them off to Virginia Tech to confirm a diagnosis. I am hoping, hoping, hoping they don't think it is egg drop syndrome--b/c if it is I have to put her down (no treatment, contagious). poor girl is just resting in her little box.

on the bright side, the guinea cock seemed a little more energetic this afternoon. I am keeping him in there overnight with a heat lamp. I will probably pull the chicken into the house (I don't have another heat lamp). hoping everyone is alive and well tomorrow.

I will let you know what I hear from the extension office or Tech. Maybe it will help someone else.

You might also consider adding ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) to their water, 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. ACV is an acidifier which helps in calcium absorption and lower gut PH to help with bacterial issues.
