I agree. My little derpy-chick was the sweetest thing, but even through hours of hand-feeding and care she didn't make it. Please, the little thing was clearly suffering. Personal Derps are BAD IDEAS, folks. (Mine was a feed store rescue, NOT a breeding experiment.)

Thank you all for your sympathy. Can we have a Derp adventure to cheer us up?

She's gone now.

Thanks! I think this is a great suggestion. I'll think about it. Nambroth, I made the eggy-mix. She spat it out at first but took some of it.

That could work. I'll listen to some other suggestions too. She's chipmunk colored.

My feed store recommended honey- I'll try sugar.

Ok, I'll name her. I have to giver her away when she gets better, though. What should it be?

Thanks for pointing that out. While everyone would love a Derp chick, it's not right for chicks to suffer.

I can try... she doesn't seem to be able to peck. I made a mush of crumbles and water and then put some crumbles into the honey/water mix, just thick enough that it still goes into the dropper. She took is but seemed to like it less, spraying it everywhere.

Thank you. She is with the four other runty, lethargic chicks I rescued from the feedstore, except the other 4 perked up with some electrolytes and a vent-clearing. They are already in a draft-free area, with a heat lamp, and a stuffed animal. She likes to smush herself under the others...

Thanks. She has taken some sugar water. All the toes on one foot are bent, making me think this is some genetic deficiency. She also keeps shaking her head.

Oh Nambroth, can you help? I'm dealing with a derpy feedstore rescue with a failure to thrive. She just drank maybe 1/4 eyedropperful of sugar water. She is a couple days old and runty enough to hide inside the feeder. Any suggestions?

1. I would if I could but I don't have space. 2. See above 3. Not yet, but I would like some sort of Derp-themed things. 4. I don't have a picture hanging in my coop....... yet. 5. It will be!

Yikes... can't see the videos. I want to see Derp and Friends!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I've wanted some BLRW... the white laced is also really pretty. You have BEAUTIFUL birds.

x2!

Aww! I love Chickadee! She's so kind to Derp. Glad Derp is happy and cozy now.

Hey Derp! How's it going?

Boop! One of my chickens makes a tooting noise. I love Barred Rocks, Chickadee is so cute!
