It seems after the past three days the indents are now gone but you can see by the direction of the cut spurs how they were pressing into his legs. He still won’t stand and I haven’t seen him drink, but he is eating wet mash (he is a scissor beak after all). He’s half the size of his brother...
Which one do I use and how much? He can’t walk rn due to the pressure and the spurs. I cut them but they left deep indents in his leg. He is a 5 yr old silkie rooster and weights 2.6 lb. Is that too small? he’s been sleeping in a cushioned dog bed with towels, but he’s so comfy that he will not...
I take the feed out at night. I feed him 1.5 oz a day but will up .5 oz in a week or two. This diet is recommended based on a recommendation I got from some who has kept then as pets. His spayed leg is completely fixed now. Sadly Chunk my CX is a boy but he is 12 weeks old now and under 6 lb and...
Yes splayed legs are fixed I believe. She does walk kinda like a heavy duck but I don’t know if that’s normal for her breed or not. Is it normal for them to be so lazy? She prefers to just lay around rather then run and jump fly like her EE sisters.
I reaaaallllllly hope she’s a she. When I got...
I have a CC chick that’s a little over 2 weeks old. I got her from tractor supply because she had splayed legs and she needed help. At the time I was heavily hoping that she would turn out to be a white leghorn. But alas that is not the case.
She’s currently growing up with her two EE sisters...
A chick with Blade leg and clicky breathing has been getting a little better but today I noticed that she had a very solid fall and bulging crop that had a yellow bald spot. Is this normal is she okay? I’m gonna try and not feed her much tonight and see what it looks like deflated but if anybody...
She’s been hobbled for a week. She has frog like thighs that kept widening her vet wrap hobble but she was walking even making turns! But her thighs looked very wrong while standing. So about three days ago I made her a new hobble using a 1/2” straw piece and a 1 1/2” Mini hair tie. The new...
i’m not sure what the temperature is. I’ll try to get a thermostat today, but I got her a larger bin and a friend but at this point I don’t think it’s the heat making her gasp. This is a new video I took of her last night.
I have a baby chick that I made a prior post about having spayed legs. Her legs are still odd, but I see improvement, but i have had a new issue for the past couple of days. She’s been panting and has clicky lungs. Her breathing seems to be worse when she’s in her bin and I’m not holding her...
Tractor supply gave me two splayed leg chicks to try and care for, but they were very thirsty and weak when I got them. One of them has already passed on, but the other one I’m much more hopeful for. I need some help figuring out what to do next I took a video of her below. In the video you...
I have a male Button quail named noodle. He’s about seven years old and has lived by himself for the past four years since his lady passed away. Today I noticed some crusty brown stuff in the corners of his mouth, and that one of his eyes looked a little runny. It only took a few hours before...
