DH Has a Pocket Pooper (pics)

Aww that is so cute! It is also so sweet of your DH to babysit the little one!

My DH is always telling everyone that the chickens are my deal and he just built the coop. Although he always asks me about them when he gets home from work and when he is outside he always stops and watches them for awhile. He also asks while cooking if the chickens can have the scraps. I think he likes them more than he wants people to believe!

Sadly, PocketPooper is in so much pain. When we bandage the joint, the leg and foot swells. Unbandaged, it's in alot of pain. We're going to euthanize the poor little thing today.

Darn, I had such high hopes!

So Sorry.

It's so hard when the joint is that tiny, to know exactly what is happening in there. It pops forward and the baby just cries. It's for the best, poor little thing.

My little Midge was like that. She didn't make it either. Sorry.

I'm sorry you have to do that. I understand but it's still sad!

Kills us every time we have to do it. It's one reason I have my Zane and he's turning two years old this month-been crippled since he was about five months old. Can't do that again, much as we adore Zane.

Speckeld Hen,
What is the story on Zane? I am sure it is here somewhere in your gazillion posts. I have seen you make mention of him before.
Was just being curious...

You did the best thing for the little squeeker. Good luck for next hatch coming your way!
