WelcometoBYC.gif . You really should post this in the Emergency section. Is she showing any other symptoms?

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

How do I post there? She is almost unable to drink, needs a dish she can totally submerge. Eating however is a huge problem. I am using sugar water for now. These are my first set of girls

If you go to the forums tab at the top of the home page there is a drop down menu. If you put the cursor on 'raising back yard chickens', to the right you'll see a bunch of categories including an emergency one. Hope you chicken gets better!

Hi and welcome to BYC! Post this in emergencies, definitely and I hope your poor little chook gets better!

If every single person were to stop buying cage eggs and become environmental activists, the world would be a better place. 

 

I went to Mcdonald's and asked for some fries. The cashier said 'would you like some fries with that?'

Life was much simpler when Apple and Blackberry were just fruits.
