    pasty but vent still blocked!

    Sadly the little black one passed on. He was just to sickly. He looked to be doing better last night but he just couldnt get enough food in and the diarrhea took to great of a toll. He could barely stand and he couldnt even fold his wings in. The yellow one thankfully is much better. The pasty...

    pasty but vent still blocked!

    I made a paste out of a little chick feed, egg yolk, and a drop of honey mixed in water. It ate a little last night and this morning. It finally started looking interested in eating about an hour ago. It still has trouble getting around but it seems to finally get better. Both still have the...

    Ridged beak = male?

I know it was having trouble walking today but it constantly seems to want to snuggle. It...

    pasty but vent still blocked!

    Thanks for the help! I didn't have any coconut oil but I was able to coax it out after we left a little ointment on it. It's perked up a bit and it finally started eating again last night so I'm really excited. On the down side though the little black one seemed to have gone backward. It was...
