Luvachicken Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Here they are. I love the way you can see a delicate outline of her feathers. Apparently she was very well behaved whilst having them done. If you look carefully, you can see her lungs which show she has a chest infection, and the vet gave her some antibiotics. You can also see her crop and her gizzard. An interesting lesson in chicken anatomy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 She looks tiny and vunerable and obviously is much bigger in her feathers. Sooo cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ax Yes he is a very good vet AND his wife has lots of chickens so he should know a bit more about them. She looks tiny and vunerable and obviously is much bigger in her feathers. Sooo cute. I guess I hadn't really thought how small she is really. Feathers do indeed hide a lot. I will tell her you are all wishing her well xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaKiw1 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Both beautiful and amazing! And £10 for an X-ray sounds a complete bargain based on what vet fees can amount too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 used to work in Xray and many a time we had pictures of medalians, dangly earrings and necklaces left on by mistake. At least Queenie left her bling at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Amazing, but I'm hopeless at reading Xrays. I get the bone structure but what is that thing near her bum end that looks like a collection of breadcrumbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 When i said plan ahead I meant catering wise. Extra eggs for cakes etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Amazing, but I'm hopeless at reading Xrays. I get the bone structure but what is that thing near her bum end that looks like a collection of breadcrumbs? Chortle Chook that is her gizzard. I had no idea that is where it is in the body either - I do now When i said plan ahead I meant catering wise. Extra eggs for cakes etc :lol: I did wonder what you meant earlier too, now I get it I think I was expecting to see a whole load of mini eggs waiting around but there is nothing at all. Do you think she has used all of her eggs up ? Would a hen that is laying eggs have some you could see and the future eggs too I wonder ?

Alis girls Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Thats what I thought - but I suspect only shelled ones show up on Xray. Sorry ignore me I am bonkers. I was counting my eggs literally - would be nice if chickens had counters on so you could see how many more they had to lay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Yes, you are right, the ones with shells on would be the ones showing up. And you are not bonkers, you made me smile with what you wrote Anyway, I think we are all bonkers As for a chicken with an egg counter on it how cool would that be. I think I want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
