Thank you, he’s very uninterested in the seeds but he shoves his face into the formula so I’m not too worried about his eating. I got a better look at his legs today now that he’s more comfortable with being handled and I don’t know if his leg is something that can be healed at this point :(...
He isn’t but I think it’s cause his leg got injured too, he’s acting a lot more excited about eating now and even tries to move his wings a bit to beg. I put together a little nest for him last night so he could sit in it with just enough room for his legs to fit through the hole for blood...
That makes more sense, especially since I found that first one who died in the same spot. Since he refused to eat the mashed up egg until I diluted it with water and gave it to him with a syringe would he really eat seeds alright on his own? Or is there a way to convince him to open his mouth?
I’ve looked up pictures of pigeons and doves and it turns out I was mistaken. His parents are Eurasian collared doves. I don’t know much about this subject but it looks like wildlife rehabs either won’t accept them or will euthanize them. I have 5 cats and while I trust 1 with chicks, the other...
Thank you, I had no idea! The little guy is still kicking and seems much more comfortable or at least less stressed than before. I did give him water through a dropper that first night too, now I’m glad he didn’t seem to want it
I got him the katee exact formula and a kitten feeding bottle, I got his crop pretty full though no where near as full as his parents were able to, I’ll try to get him to have more in about an hour if he seems more up for eating, thank you for your advice :)
He’s made it through the night but is being stubborn about eating so I’m giving him a drop of diluted egg and sugar at a time until the stores open. Nearest rehab center won’t open till Wednesday and the 24 hour vet said that the hospitals around here aren’t aloud to take wildlife so I’m gonna...
Thank you, I’ve called our local 24 hour vet and they said the hospitals around here aren’t aloud to take in wild life and our nearest rehab center doesn’t open until Wednesday so I’ll try to find that bird formula. Right now I’ve been using a squeeze paintbrush as a baby bottle and I have warm...
Baby pigeon with broken wing and leg made it through the night. It was bleeding so I used flour to get it to stop but now I noticed its leg is stuck to its abdomen. Is it safe to give them a warm bath to clean them off?? I tried getting him to have some smashed egg yolk but he does seem to be in...
I went to check it closer since it was moving a bit and it looks like it’s bleeding around the leg and a there’s a tiny wound in its little armpit too, I put flour on both areas to stop the bleeding, I know it’s chances are probably pretty slim so my hopes aren’t too high…I’ll try to update in...
It’s 9pm where I live now and I found it a little over an hour ago, I’ll have to wait till morning to call around. I do have cat, dog and all flock food here but I’m wondering if I should bother it since it is late and he should be sleeping? Or should I try anyways, I really don’t want to stress...
Yesterday I found a dead baby bird in my backyard and today I found another in the exact same spot but this one is alive. I didnt see it and accidentally rolled a gate over it. I think I broke its wing and I feel terrible. It didn’t make any noise when I went to move its wing back into place and...
Thank you, I haven’t heard or this before (I’ve only had chickens for maybe 4 years now), I’ll try the tractor supply store when I go out tonight and if not I’ll order online :)
Thank you, I did find mites. I’ve set up an area for them outside so they’re taking a dirt a bath right now and I’ll be doing a deep clean today. We were thinking it might be something fungal though and I was wondering if it would hurt to put some sort of cream on them? It’s alright if your not sure
I was gone for a week on vacation and left my dad to watch my chickens, they seemed to be doing fine. Today’s the first day I got to see them and I noticed something around my roosters ears. These two live together and are separated from the other chickens. I don’t know what it is/what could...
