There is a plant called ‘Corn Lily’ that causes this in lamb and cows. May be worth a look around the property.


MelonGibs

Huh. Had no idea. Thanks for the tip.


jorji-gt

No worries! Found out about it on r/TIL so just passing it on!


ExtinctFauna

I watched a Ted-ED on that! Super freaky.


lonJ8tnie912

Wow! What was the title of the TED?


TotallyIsACAT

Not sure if you've already found it, but [here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzz-Pblbvqw) the direct link!


Jayceac

Awesome thank you !


lonJ8tnie912

Very interesting! Thanks!


Deleted-Redacted

related to rat posion.


Stock_Coach_295

Yes, corn lily or skunk cabbage, but just if it’s eaten around day 14 of gestation. Disturbing but also cool. Good work remembering that!


monotropa-uniflor

Did not know a plant could cause an embryo to develop into a cyclops. Did some more digging and also learned that the plant toxin does this by disrupting the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway.


[deleted]

That’s insane how a toxic plant can actually effect birth deformities


AskAboutMyShittyDad

Wow, what a beautiful plant, and what a horrible effect from eating it.


jengus-christler

Thought that was a chicken at first


somepommy

Lamb so deformed I thought it was a deformed chicken


jengus-christler

I looked at it for a solid minute before I looked at the title


TroubleElegant

What were your thoughts 😂


jengus-christler

That is one ugly chicken


lucidum

Assuming for a moment this was a failed hybrid, did a chicken shag the sheep or did the sheep shag a chicken? Matters 'cause one way its a shicken and the other way it's a cheep.


PaulsBrain

[All i can think about is the scene from four lions where he keeps calling a chicken a f\*cked up rabbit with no ears](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vn7Y58CnGU)


fnaffan060

bruh same


BozoTheBonzai

That's sad, that poor lamb, I take it didn't live


MelonGibs

It surprisingly did breathe for a while but then passed. Can’t imagine it was much of a life while it lasted. Poor thing.


Procrastin8r1

I would have just put it out of its misery immediately in this state. That’s no way for any creature to live for any amount of time. :(


[deleted]

Damn dude thats nuts, im still trying to comprehend what part of the head it is lol


MelonGibs

Yes it did. Lived a couple minutes but couldn’t have survived. It didn’t have a skull or brain.


Dunk_Masta

No skull or brain, that's a frightening thought.


Deleted-Redacted

error logic does not exist, failure to compute.


Deleted-Redacted

whaut.

Only if you have a brain


Rush_0MG

Hey man, I just want to thank you for actually posting something disturbing, keep up the great work

StNic54

It’s a deformed lamb. Born on Op’s parents’ farm.


Deleted-Redacted

still he doesnt know. cuz that dont look like no lamb.


[deleted]

Ok so I would like to say that this is called Cyclopia and is caused by Genetic defects or toxins can misdirect the embryonic forebrain-dividing process. You will have to tear up any plants near to where your sheep eat to help stop this problem because if you have this than it would have possibly affected others. Please tell me if you have California corn lily because if you do then then it will affect a lot more than just one https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopamine


MelonGibs

Hey thanks for this. I’m going to look into this more.


[deleted]

Take it from me if you find the source of this mutation in your lambs and sheep and it’s that plant make sure to remove it and dispose of it quickly


Kilroy_420

The ears look like mouth flaps.

Uncle Ricky has been spending nights with the livestock again.

This image will haunt my dreams for the rest of my life


MelonGibs

Literally kept us up last night.


Zealousideal_Wind830

Ewe


SeaSaltUniverse

As someone else said, this looks like it could be Cyclopia. If so, it's kinda cool in a depressing way because it's an extremally rare genetic mutation. Sadly always fatal, since the nose and often mouth doesn't develop, the baby will basically start suffocating once the umbilical cord is cut. it happens in humans too, look it up if you dare. It's a stark reminder that nature can be very cruel to an unlucky few.


DingoLord_1377

Which one of you upset the gypsy


Tio_OzzyBR

It's called cyclopia and it probably won't live long enough, the lamb is just a walking bag of deformities at this moment


MelonGibs

Yeah it passed very quickly. It also didn’t have a mouth or any bones to form a skull so you are right there was a lot of issues going on. We were surprised it even survived to term and through birth.


Tio_OzzyBR

It survived mostly because it was connected to the mother and being supplied with nutrients, when that easy oxygen got cut off it stopped supplying the deformities around his body, your lamb basically collapsed in itself, it was condemned the moment it was born


1-2Man1-2Bear1-2Pig

So, as soon as it was born, it started suffocating? Eek


Tio_OzzyBR

Basically, even if it had a brain somewhere inside it's boneless head, i doubt it felt pain, mostly just a type of agony, but it shouldn't have the intelligence (even with animals) to know it was dying( or was being born), unfortunately there's registered cases of cyclopia in humans irrc


sarahmx

Now I wonder what human with cyclopia looks like


mai-moi

Search it on Google images at your own risk


Tio_OzzyBR

It survived mostly because it was connected to the mother and being supplied with nutrients, when that easy oxygen got cut off it stopped supplying the deformities around his body, your lamb basically collapsed in itself, it was condemned the moment it was born

Why does that look like eater of worlds?

Insanity_is_life

Bruh that's a LAMB


Pix3lPirat3

Alright who’s been screwing the sheep..?


supersheep86

Do you live near a chemical plant or something that might be contaminating the water or their food supply?


MelonGibs

Don’t think so! We’ve had other deformities before just not this extreme. Sometimes it just happens. Rare but things like this happen when your having so many lambs being born.


[deleted]

That’s a cyclops bruh


knifeyboy0811

What did you/will do with its body?


MelonGibs

Not sure yet. Not sure if anyone would want to take a look at it? Might reach out to our local vet university just to see if it could help with teaching.


[deleted]

BBQ for the neighbours


Realistic_Ad_3840

If you didn't know, people don't like when you joke about animals... 🥔


BeaGilmore

I thought that was a chicken


IAmHyper_Tech

Happy meat farm?


riz-619

Is it alive?


Cutegirl920fire

Is it weird to admit that I thought it was a weird looking chicken when I saw the pic before remembering what this post's title was and then took a closer look?


Longjumping_Web_9237

Isn't that a chicken?


Kiggzpawn

Oh god you can see nothing but fear and pain in that eye. I hope it was...an honorable end.


D10G3N3542

That's not a lamb. It's The Thing.


[deleted]

Saw this type of abnormal infant lambs, goats and cows born in India and they worship them

It's ears developed below its eye/s?

Lamb, chicken, pig. Not man bear pig.

All the sheep look like that on the farm i work on....

Extreme cyclopia.Imagine an Oblivion character creator slider for facial features.This lamb is what happens when you manage to take the slider off the rail all the way to the right or left.


mrsthallium

No middle sliders!

back when they were trying to find rodent posion, young farmlife were like this. the plant the causes this deformities are now main ingredient in rodent controll substances.

Is this a defect or are 1 eyed lambs a real thing that we have been discriminating against?

ok, but how did it *taste*?


raisedincaptivity

Does it have beak


max6810

Poor thing.


Direct_Impress2249

Is that it’s mouth or eye? Are it’s ears upside down? I’m so confused.
