An update on Sugar:
After 2 long months of antibiotics and hand feeding and trying to fight this illness with her we have made the very difficult decision to have her put to rest. I made an appointment with our vet today.
She has still been laying the lash material every week. Her course of...
Sorry for the late reply I just saw this message. Thank you for all the info. Here is the latest update on Sugar…
She started laying lash egg on March 11th. We took her to the vet that night and started her on antibiotics (I don’t know which kind of antibiotics the label didn’t say) we had a 7...
Thank you for the detailed reply! Here’s a few more details based on the questions you had.
She is 2.5 years old.
That is correct, the vet did not know lash egg and she even had to google when I told her. I didn’t see the fluid myself, so I can’t describe the color. The fluid doesn’t seem to...
My RIR Sugar is sick :(
she hasn’t laid a normal egg in a year, always soft eggs.
2 weeks ago she started acting really sick. She wouldn’t move or eat. We rushed to the emergency vet and on the way there she laid a lash egg. The vet (who was an avian vet) had no idea what a lash egg was or...

My questions in case anyone knows: Are chickens allowed in Pomona...
Hello chicken friends!
Last night I checked on the chicks before I went to bed I saw a small bug on one of my chickens foot. I killed it and determined that it was an adult poultry lice. I check on them every night as they are roosting and inspect under their wings weekly. I have never seen one...
I only thought she was a lavender orpington at first, but later found out she was an Olive Egger... not sure what her exact mix is but it was confirmed by Meyer that she was an OE.
Yesterday I gave my Olive Egger "Luna" to an acquaintance who has chickens. She came to me from Meyer as a free meal maker chick that I accidentally ordered. I thought she was a Lavender Orp for 6 months. She was the loudest chicken EVER and it was starting to affect my sanity. I mean, that...
