Sorry for the delay in posting an updated picture. We had some somber family events happen around Mother's Day, between that and life... well, you know. Anyway, here's Ducky now. :) The ones of her alone are from June 14th and the one of my girl and her favorite chicken is from May 29th.
Update: Ducky is doing so much better. She seems to be getting bigger and her crop is down where everyone else's is. <3 Thank you all for your advice and caring. I appreciate you.
Edit/Update: She peeps like she's been smoking for 20 years. And her crop is all big again but she's been eating so that's probably why. But, because of that she does that weird neck dance again. So, maybe our celebration is premature and will be short-lived. Idk. I'm just so tired. We're...
So, after some extra attention today, some tears, & some snuggles, Ducky pooped a few times, she did spit up a bit (which isn't good, I know) BUT her crop is a LOT smaller, almost flat and she's a bit more active. We gave her a drop or 2 of Nutri-Drench to help her body rebound a little. But, my...
No pecking. It's probably the way my camera picks up the color. It looks more pink/normal irl. We've been talking about it since I first posted about Ducky in here. There's been a lot of tears today though. 😓
Okay, I hate to word it this way but love the alliteration. I'm back with more Ducky drama. She does this from time to time and I'm worried about her. Video Here. Sometimes after she does this her crop like becomes 2 separate bulges and feel kinda firm. Also, there's like NO feather growth at...
Everything seems to be on the up and up since introducing the Nutri-Drench. Thank you for asking. I've been meaning to update but work and life and well, you know how it is! ❤️ Thank you again!
The bottle says "For Rapid Response: Feed directly in mouth 1 mL (cc) per 3 lbs of body weight. This little baby doesn't even weigh a pound? How much should I give her?
I'd like to do what I can to see this chick make it. As my daughter is quite attached. We have discussed the reality of the situation and how Ducky might not make it but I still want to try to do everything in my power to see the bird succeed. So, I should go and get "Poultry Nutri-Drench"?
Hey all,
This is my first ever post in here (aside from the intro :frow). So, I'll try to give as much information as I can.
I have 7 chicks, all bought at the same time. (I think their hatch day was April 4th abouts). One of my girls is about half the size (or a little smaller) than the rest...
