This is my special needs baby. You can see that she has what I'm assuming is a severe cross beak not to mention she has 5 toes. :) I got worried about how she was always at the feeding bowl. It was like she was always hungry. I began feeding her with an eye dropper every few days. I feed...

First pic is her normal side. She's alert and moving around this am. Normally I find her sitting in the nesting bin all of the girls use. Tough to get a picture of an ever moving hen, took 16 pic! The second two are of the problem side. It almost looks like there's a normal eye in there...

Yes.. I'll try now.

Hi, All, I have a mature buff rock hen who's eyeball turned black a few months ago. She is now blind in that eye, but had generally done well within the flock of 13 girls. Then about 10 days ago we noticed she was in brood mode. She still is, but now her eye is swelling to the size of a large...

I was sitting for my friends flock and went to check on them this morning and all of the young birds were dead except for one that was outside the coop. My friends came home and surveyed the scene. They said there was no trauma or blood, they just dropped dead. There were no open gates and we...

yep. We should have taken better care of her a week ago when she started wobbling. =(

Yeah. They are all in the coop now, gonna go out and check them. Thanks....

she was too far gone. We lost her. We'll know better next time....

Will do.. Thank you so much!

thanks so much. We just fed her water thru syringe and a scrambled egg plain. I'm going out now to get that stuff you mentioned. How many times a day should we give her water and food? She alert, just not wanting to move. Thanks for all your help saving our Spanish girl.

Thanks, Dawg.. She has mites. We bathed her this morning and dusted her, now cleaning the coop. Any thoughts on how to nurse her back to health. She's alert, but doesn't want to walk.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. It's tough to tell when she laid last. All 19 girls live in the coop. How can I tell if she's egg bound and what do you do for that? I'll go out and check for mites. Thanks again! All help is appreciated. Don't want hubby to loose his spanish chick! =-)

Actually she's about a year old and we call her the spanish chick. Hubby noticed a week ago she was wobbling and having trouble walking straight, but she got up on the bars to roost so we thought is was a one time thing. Then yesterday we let the flock free range and she just layed under the...
