    Yesterday good ol Nugget found a forever home. A friend of ours saw an ad in the paper for someone wanting to buy a silkie rooster. Apparently this guy had renters who let their dog out into the chicken run and the dog killed his old rooster. He said his 16 bantam hens had surrounded the dying...

    I like all my critters to have as much space as I can possibly give them

    Speaking of chickens in questionable homes... my husband and I were driving down a back road and saw a tiny chick in the road. There was a couple of small sheds and an abandoned mobile home right there. We pulled over to try and catch it but when we got out of the car it was gone. In our search...

    Well Nugget is still with me and he has gotten louder! About a week ago I forgot to lock him up at night. He woke me up at 6am with his crowing. I quickly got up and put him away before he woke up the entire nieghborhood. The people of my nieghborhood have started figuring out where the crowing...

    Update! Nugget no longer has his episodes! Every once in awhile if he stresses about something he falls over but he gets right back up. He picks on the bunny now so I can't put them in together anymore. Ty u all for all ur great support. I don't know what I would have done without you!

    I'm trying to find a little hen to keep him company. I figure eventually if someone wants him they'd likely take a hen as well. But in the mean time he'd have company.

    So Nugget is doin better. He still spazes sometimes and rolls around. But he's alot more active and vocal and all in all seems happier. I need to give him another bath and find a way to trim his butt better. He sits downs and constantly has Dingle berries. Silly chicken.

    So I posted the issue on justanswer. I have had great luck with them in the past over strange yet serious animal health issues. I sent them the link for this thread. Hopefully, this thread will help speed things along. I'll just tell hubs I had credit built up on the site ;) Crossing my fingers...

    Silkie Health concerns

    I have been asking around to see if anyone would be interested in him. But most people don't want a rooster or a chicken with health issues. I'm even trying to find others with small chickens where I can borrow a chicken to see if that helps with his recovery. The bunny isn't even half the size...

    I've considered this as well. But my husband quickly said "no! We are not going to get him buddies" he seems to like the bunny. But I can't leave her out there unattended because she fits through the slats in the pen. I'm thinking if tomorrow is nice I can have them out together before work.

    He still has his episodes but he's walking around more. It's almost like he gets a muscle twinge or somethin sometimes. I think he gets bored during the day as well.

    So I put the bunny in with Nugget. He never pecked at her but I thought he was going to. He actually got up and was trying to get to her when she escaped the pen.

    He gets the infared light and a hard boiled egg every night. He seems to enjoy it. He loves the hard boiled eggs. Thank you so much for tour support. It's so nice to have someone supporting me through this.

    Well he loved his hardboiled egg. He loves to be handfed too. I'd love to just put him in a basket and walk around with him all day. He doesn't spaz while I am paying attention to him usually. But as soon as I move away a bit he freaks.

    Nugget still has he episodes but the other day he went most of the day without one. He goes in the xpen during the day and in his cage with the infared light at night. I've still been giving him the ACV and vitamins in his water. I'm about to hard boil some eggs for him for the extra protein. He...
