    Bump!
  2. Where The Wild Things Are

    labored breathing/swallowing, "goopy" mouth and eye

    She has been separated from the flock and has been given olive oil (via dropper) and pedialyte (via dropper). She's warm and comfortable with soft food (yogurt/softened crumbles) and pedialyte. I am going to treat this as an impacted crop (until someone offers another scenario). I will massage...

    Red or White?

    Well, keeping in mind that tail feathers are a paintbrush for poo...I would paint it red. It will look newer, longer. IMHO

    Severely injured chick

    Thank you, thank you. It does not make sense to peel a scab. I know we're not supposed to peel our own scabs, so why would I peel hers? I will see what I can find at the feed store. And I will see if I can help her stretch.

    Severely injured chick

    Okay, so I called the Vet (they are seriously useless). The receptionist advised me that they won't prescribe or administer drugs without seeing the patient. And naturally only one Avian Vet will even look at her (since she's a chicken) and he's only in on Thursday's. So I'm not sure if/how/when...

    Severely injured chick

    Quote: you don't sound like an idiot at all! Infact she does have a much harder time keeping her balance, because she does not have her wings. And when she has her bandage on, it makes it even worse. However, today she has been worse than normal. Thus far she has been able to adapt pretty...

    Severely injured chick

    Quote: Thank you for you quick reply. Her legs both look the same, and neither sustained any external injury. She has not developed her comb or wattles yet, but her coloring all looks normal. My BF just thought her legs were pasty or pale looking. I'm not sure I notice a diffrence to be...

    Severely injured chick

    Okay, I REALLY need some help. This morning I noticed my little patient was having a very hard time keeping her balance and walking (heck, first thing in the morning I have a hard time keeping my balance and walking) so I did not think much of it. She has shown visable signs that her wounds are...

    Severely injured chick

    I have no illusion that the healing process will be anything but timely and difficult. But with such a wonderful little patient, every moment will be worth it. Time, energy and TLC are something I have a lot of.

    Severely injured chick

    ***rather graphic descriptions*** So...I couldn't bear to let Chickie-la-la cull her chick without at least trying to help. She's married to my Boss, so I had some idea of what I was getting myself into (or so I thought). I agreed to take the chick and see what I could do to help (it seems my...

    Chickens won't stop squawking loudly for no apparent reason

    I am going to watch this post with interest. I have 2 Black Copper Mirans that will do this. It makes a car alarm sound soothing! I know mine are both hens (about 9 months old) and they are CRAZY. Usually one will start, and the other will soon follow. Eggs, no eggs...morning, afternoon...full...

    Cute roo...

    Well...along with stunning good looks, come attitude! So what he lacks in "beauty" he makes up for in personality. If he was pretty, he would probably be a brat, not a sweetheart. Hahaha

    Weird aggression between calls, what are they doing?

    I have no idea what "normal" duck behavior is...since "all" duckie behavior is so abnormal. They are soooo goofy! Nothing normal about em'.
