Thank you for sharing that story. My little Roxy might need to stay with me. Ive opened up the living room to her to see if she will fly voluntarily. So far nothing. I want to take her down to her flock and see if she is able to join them today. We shall see.

She seems so scared of me. She does flap her wings sometime but it seems more like a streatching feat than that she is trying to fly. If I pick her up and try to encourage her to fly she flutters to the ground. I can tell that she is getting stronger though. I forgot to mention I am offering...

Im thinking of trying tomorrow. I will take her back to where I found her and where a large flock of pigeons gather. I will see how it goes. If they all take off in flight and leave her behind Ill know she is not going to be able to join them yet. It is a large parking lot area that is not...

HA!, my dove did the same thing. He sat on my Casablanca fan watching me search for him. I finally noticed him up there. That was many years ago and he is no longer with me. Regarding this pigeon, I just dont know yet what I will do. I tried again this morning but she still cant fly. She...

If she doesnt recovery (be able to fly) I will have to keep her. Will I need to get a companion pigeon or dove for her? I found her hiding in the kitchen for the first time today. She had gotten way back between some bags. I was lucky to find her. She is put to bed for now but I might need...

She actually is doing really well. I have chickens and when they come to look at her through the sliding glass door she really warms up and starts eating because she can see them eating. It seems she wants to wait for visiting chickens to lead her to eat, but she is eating well. She really...

I named her Roxy. She did a somersault while trying to groom herself. Once she righted herself she had a wing flap fest. Not sure what that was all about but she has yet to make any noise at all.

She hasn't made a peep yet! Ive been playing pigeon and dove sounds for her. I do need a name other than baby and sweetie. She just took a head over tail tumble while trying to groom herself. Once she righted herself she had a wingflap fest. I hope it wasnt some sort of epileptic type episode.

I think little female too....the flat head and temperament too.

Thank you for that link....yes the lighting was very low and the flash was not working on my camera this morning but I wanted something to show. Ill check out that article!

Thanks for the advice postings. I have been using a pet carrier for sleeping with a heating pad on low. During the day it hangs out in the kitchen. BTW, is there a way to determine its sex so I dont keep referring to it as an "IT"?

It has stayed with me for four days and three nights now. I give it an opportunity to try and fly every day as a test but it just flutters to the ground. It walks fairly well but as I mentioned in the title, it seems to have balance issues. When it tries to groom itself, for instance, it sort...

I cant see any signs of waddles or comb on Zouloo Warrior. Here are some pics. She doesnt like getting her pic taken....more interested in if I have a treat for her.

Zoolou Warrior doesnt have much of a visible comb. I think due to the leg and foot size that its a "She". Spleckles, the white and black one sure has the temperament of a male. I will have to research that chicken type. I know nothing about the Appenzeller Spitzhauben. Im glad to heard...

I bought some "hatching eggs" off ebay. Every single one of them arrived with broken aircells. I gave them to a hen to TRY to hatch. Of course, none hatched. I got my money back but it was a fight. Ebay had to inform the seller that I was going to get my money back regardless (through...

Hi, four maybe five months ago I bought these two chicks at a local feed store. They were sold as Polish. The brown one, Zoolou Warrior,, has its top knot trimmed to improve vision but I have not trimmed the white and black one, Speckles. I have no doubt that the brown on is indeed a Polish...

I did look over his feet, top and bottom. There are no sores it is just so puffed up that he walks gingerly as if he is walking on clods of dirt stuck to the bottom of his feet and they are making it a struggle to walk. I thought it was those heavily feathered feet that were impeding his...

My roo has more of a problem with swollen outer toes than with lifted scales. Will the Ivermetin drench take down the swelling in less than a month? Im anxious to see he can walk more normally again.

I will soak and reapply the ointment again each night until he recovers. I focused the application on the very swollen and smooth skin. I may need to focus more on the scaly parts of his legs. His outer toes are so swollen that he has a hard time walking so I thought maybe that was where the...
