I have been wiping my little chicken's heiny every day (3 days Since it started caking). I got a call on lunch break, and received news that Noodle didn't make it. My daughter is "putting him in the hole with Morgan" (our dog we put down last summer).
RIP: Chicken Noodle - You were a good...
What do I do about it's red tushy? It looks like it's protruding... is it too late, or will the cleaning and Vaseline keep it alive. Also, it isn't eating/drinking much, and since it is only 5 days old, I'm not sure what to do. I can get a syringe and force feed it... maybe make it's food...
I don't know what to do. I've cleaned this little guy/gals but a few times, but he doesn't seem to be getting better. He has what looks like poop stuck to his butt. He tends to just stand around with his eyes closed rather than run around with the 3 others in the box. I don't recall him...
Just bought my daughter 4 chickens (pullets) because she desperately wants to be a farmer. 3 of them are doing super! The one that I named is not doing as well It's got "clogged butt" or whatever it is called. I will soon be posting to the Sick Chick area...
I came across this and thought...
