Emma has passed and tears are pouring rapidly. It's amazing how she has had such an impact on our lives and a part of me will be missing without her. Thank you for your help and kindness.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I keep trying to tell myself we have been blessed to have had her this long and that she is just an elderly little girl. We have been holding her all day. She is in a very deep sleep. I did try to put some droplets of water on her beak with no success then...

I have very sad news. Today Emma won't move, eat, drink, or even barely open her eyes. She just keeps peeking at us with those precious angel eyes. I feel like I killed my baby with those vitamins and I will never forgive myself. She was doing much better than this up till a day and a half after...

I thought that too. Right now I guess the best thing to do is make sure she has food and water available to her at all times. I don't want to force feed her. I think that would stress her and there has been times that she stopped eating and the next day made up for it! Plus, keep her cool cause...

We have lost many and it is extremely heartbreaking. There is something very special about Emma and she loves us just as much as we love her. This is the longest we have ever had one of our girls survive. Over 13 and half years old. She's remarkable. Everytime we think we are losing her she...

Help again! Monday I decided to try poultry cell that doesn't have electrolytes. I couldn't get her to drink it from her water because I think she could smell it so since she loves watermelon I put it in a chopper so it is bite size pieces with liquid. It was very late in the day but she did eat...

Do you think the poultry cell is okay to use?

Emma says hello!! She is still not doing so well. She has been eating good and sometimes has moments where she is full of energy but then she gets very puffed up and lethargic. Mainly after she eats. She is also very uncoordinated and wobbly. I do have a question.. I have her on poultry cell but...

That is a very good article and I am going to keep it cause it will be very helpful. Thank you. Only problem is I don't know how to treat it cause I don't know what it is. Like you said unfortunately we can't see what's going on inside and her symptoms could be a number of things. The jerking is...

Hello, it has been a while but our Emma has been hanging on. Nothing has really changed. She seems to bounce back then go back down hill. This time it seems she is not bouncing back so well. I am noticing that gurgling sound in her tummy is worse but no signs of sour crop. I have read that...

Lol!! I agree. We don't always give in. I admit when she was not eating at all we panicked so rice and noodles probably were over feed but not now.I just wanted to know if shredded wheat and lettuce would be okay in her condition since she is so picky and we do want her to be happy since there...

We do have her on crumbles and mealworm available to her all day. For some reason she can't seem to get enough mealworm right now. She does get a treat on a daily basis and the problem is she is SPOILED! She let's us know when she wants her treat by standing by our kitchen door and will whine...

Hello everyone. Our precious baby needs help. We have a Japanese Blacktail hen who is over 13 years old. We know we have been extremely blessed to have had her this long. We love her so very very much. She lives in the house with us!! Just suddenly about a month ago she started flapping around...

Hiya! I know this is a very old post, but I was wondering if you have or know where I can find a bantam buff Orpington chick (female)? I live in Riverdale ,Ga and can't seem to find any unless I order bulk online and I only want one.I have a silkie who is a wonderful adoptive mom and we just...

I had a silkie who could not walk.It did not have wheels but what I did was take a small box depending on how big your chicken is, cut two holes in the middle for the legs and used old t-shirts to pad it up so the leg openings would not hurt the legs. Just lay the t-shirts over the leg holes and...
