Thanks for your suggestions. Any idea how long it takes for the nutrients to uptake and to start seeing improvements? If anything she is still deteriorating. Her poor little legs have no strength and she tries so hard to stand up but just can't get her feet under her. They stick right out. Been...
Hey guys. Looking for some tips or ideas I haven't considered yet
My bantam duckwing something( not sure what she is) is not feeling well.
She has never been a strong eater, and she's one of 2 indoor house chickens, so I have high doubts she caught anything. Her sister BocBoc is absolutely...
Funny thing is, they both still love to sleep under their heat lamp. Unless Bocboc is feeling broody then she will sleep on her eggs.
From what I understand their resting body temp is a few degrees higher than ours. I have a small, 50 watt heat lamp in the corner of their cage, it doesn't...
Thank you! I don't have a backyard so I made sure to get them from someone who would take them back if they weren't thriving, but so far they seem like very happy birds. Always looking for a snack. Especially Bocboc. She's got an assertive personality and if she wants something, she's gonna try...
In the background of this photo it's easy to see how their cage has doubled in size and I plan on getting a third cage to make it even bigger again. Yes they will always be house chickens. They are too spoiled for the outside coop life.
They have a scratch box, dust bathing station and a...
I got the egg song about 20-30 min later after I put them both back in their coop. I almost burned the eggs I was cooking cause I ran to see who was singing, but I didn't make it in time.
The eggs are so small and cute. Broke my heart to break the egg. I decided to try the one laid on Sunday to...
Update! We got eggs!!!
Sunday night I found and egg in their coop. Chickie was perched on it. Feeling both birds, Chickie feels like she has an egg waiting to come, but Bocboc was very squishy and felt no eggs.
Fast forward to today
Bocboc disappeared for about 30 min today so I went to her...
It's 7am. Turned the lights on, everyone is awake and within 10 min Bocboc is crowing like 10 times in a row 🤣 12 seconds or so apart. I had to put Bocboc back in the room and shit the door till he was done waking everyone up. Lol. He doesn't display any other rooster traits. Like he always runs...
Bocboc was pretty vocal today. Lots of crows and other noises when Bocboc and Chickie were in different rooms and Bocboc didn't know where she was. She just let out a warning call I think when she heard a strange noise from the hallway too.
Here they are enjoying a cuddle. They will sleep here...
