His name is Napoleon, and he's my little man. I call him my magical chaaaken bc the woman I got the hatching eggs from had given the father back, and he was the last egg, and the only one that actually hatched (fully assisted, courtesy of this site)! So, he's my boy - a lee~tle pigeon sized...
Hi there! I am relatively new to BYC, and I am certain that I am not the only one who wound up here due to a chicken emergency... I am still an amateur chicken keeper, and so I'm learning as I go, which means that I lack the experience and/or products I would have to amass over a period of time...
He's gone... Took me several minutes to calm down enough for my phone to function enough to even give an update... Thank you both for your help...
Poor little chicken
I've checked his booty, and it's not stopped up - I've never heard of Nutri-drench, but I'll send my fiance up there right now to get it and I'll begin the sugar water
He's trying to drink & foaming a bit
I *just* got 4 bantams from Tractor Supply this morning, and the tiniest one (the reason I got the other 3, as that is their minimum) seems to be gasping for breath! He was not doing that when I got him... He was in the shavings they put him in until we got them home, and he's been drinking...
