Thank yall so much. Even my hubbie who normally could care less about my chickens was asking me all day "did ya hear back from the chicken people". He knew I was checking the site and running back out to try different stuff. Yall sure have been a blessing. At least I had something I could do...
oh thank y'all so much for trying to help me. She didn't make it. I was trying to push the egg and hold the prolapse part while she was trying to push it out. It looked like it might just work (I had her vent all lubed up with KY) and her bowel? ruptured. She started bleeding pretty bad and my...
on the phone with the vet and he said at this point breaking it is the only thing that might work. Pretty much she is gonna die and breaking it might save her. That just doen't sound right to me.... man oh man...
Well poop isn't coming out of the vent, but like the side, like there is a tear in her bowel. I can get alot of the prolapse back in but not all of it and I was scared of hurting her worse. Should I try that? Like push is in and KY her up and hold it in and see if she can get it out the right...
The other thing is that there is a place on her prolapse that is oozing poop. Like it has a small tear. The egg is just moving all around. It isn't like the vent is too small, it is like it is trying to come out the side wall... The egg can actually be pushed back inside her, but the egg won't...
ok, it is an egg but it has also prolapsed her vent. I can see where the vent is, but it is way at the top and to the side. There is 2 inches of tissue bulging out. I soaked her behind in warm water for 10 minutes and she is straining to pass it but she can't. I need to know if she is going to...
This is way nasty and I have no idea what it is. Is she maybe egg bound or a prolapse? I JUST found her like this. I haven't cleaned her bottom off (obviously). PLEASE tell me what to do if you know. She is eating and acting ok, a little to herself maybe but thats it. I just started getting eggs...
awwwww! Here is my first egg. I am so proud! It was laid Friday and we got another Sunday, Monday and today. I think it is from just one of my Buff Orpingtons. I have 8 hens and one roo, but I think its from the same hen. They were 20 weeks Monday, so she was just shy of that. I started them on...

I think y'all might be right. I hate to seperate him, but I obviously don't want him killing off hens either. I'd rather have him seperated and get to keep him. Do y'all think if I seperated him it would be temporary or forever?
Abouth the shooting, my hubbie did the shooting and she died...
I have a roo that is very docile with me and my family (my dogs also), but for some reason he has started picking off my hens one by one. The first hen that died, I thought maybe something was wrong with it and the flock was helping nature along, but we finally caught my roo doing the deed. He...
ok I went to the site and actually put in 18022 and you can see it. I think the comma at the end of your link was why it wouldn't foward, so it is still on there.
OMG I would be LIVID! Sounds like that messed over the wrong person this time hahaha. I can't stand dishonesty. I especially can't stand anyone to ignore me. I tried the link too and it won't work.
