    Chick breed ID?

    Awwww... That link works now. How stinkin cute is your peep?! D'Uccles are such 'classy' looking birds. I wouldn't even mind so much if this little one turns out to be a boy... It's staying either way. :) Surprisingly, it's getting along swell with my five standard-sized sex links. I expected...

    The link for your picture is not working for me. :(

    Chick breed ID?

    D'Uccles look like they have lighter/yellow faces? I think the face on mine is blue/gray just like the body. Bum is yellow though. But d'Uccle would explain the dark behind the eyes. And you guys are a thousand times more knowledgeable than me. Why doesn't TSC just say??? Lol

    Chick breed ID?

    She (wishful thinking) did indeed come from the TSC bantam straight run bin. I'm thinking blue cochin. The wing feathers are definitely coming in with a bluish tint. And I don't see anything on the head which would make me think a crested breed. Although we are looking at a two day old probably...

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    I had planned to, if I was going to have to euthanize her. But it was too late by the time I got home from work and found her. I would like to know what was in her belly. :( If it was e.y.p. - I am reading that it's more common in production-heavy breeds. Is this a condition that I can...

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    ...surprised actually, since she hadn't really been any worse yesterday morning that she has been this whole time. She ate yesterday morning, drank yesterday morning. So... I dunno. But such is life. *sigh* I am glad I didn't have to put her down. Thank you all greatly for your advice and...

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    First dose of fresh Baytril last night. Yesterday was also time for the second dose of Duramycin, too but I waited on that until this morning since I didn't want to give her both at once. She actually seems to be moving around a little better today, though that may just be wishful thinking on...

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    Ah... I didn't realize the other was injectable. I'll look for some at TSC. If she's got eyp and not trying to pass an egg, should I still give her the injectable? Success with the other vet. He'll have me some Baytril at the desk this afternoon. Hopefully the old stuff just hasn't been potent...

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    I have not. I've given her a couple of TUMS over the last few days though and was under the impression that they could take the place of calcium gluconate. Is there a benefit of calcium gluconate over TUMS? Something other than the calcium?

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    Thank you. I had already run across that thread. If I don't hear back from the other vet today, I'll place an order. Might not help this girl, but I'll have it on hand for next time at least. Oh and... no real change this morning either. She's still hanging in there. Still alert, still...

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    Update: She's still hanging in there. Not much change. I'm having a bit of trouble finding some more Baytril. My vet says she can't medicate animals that she hasn't seen (and they don't see chickens) and another vet I've asked says I can't get it anywhere because Baytril isn't FDA approved...

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    Thanks for that info on bugs resistant to Duramycin. We won't re-dose with that again until Tuesday. I've just given her a third dose of very old Baytril. It might not be doing anything at all, but it also might be working. At any rate, I'm out now, but I bet my vet will give me some tomorrow...

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    No real improvement. In fact, she's technically a little worse considering that she won't eat as readily as she was yesterday. Still eating some food though. She's sleeping a lot (head turned backward not just drooped forward) so if her body is going to recover, it's probably good that she rest...

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    Thank you for those kind sentiments, Micro. I, too, am amazed by the knowledge of the members here. I don't post often and when I do, it's usually because one of my girls is in some sort of crisis. But these awesome folks ALWAYS come through. Sometimes, they give me advice that has saved my...

    And this is what I get for reading posts backwards. That's the winner! :)

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    Not that one either, but I saw that one, too. The one I looked at was a huge chart, 100someodd pages.

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    I saw this one, but it's not the q3-5d one. There were several links in that post and one of the others was it.

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    This seems to be correct. I'm going to go back and edit my original post too, just in case someone comes along in the future and doesn't read far enough. I think I've got some Baytril in the cabinet. It's old so it might be expired but I don't think it would hurt to give it to her. But I will...

    If she's not eggbound... then what?

    Her comb is flopped over to her right side. It's always been floppy, but it is a little floppier than usual. Color is still fairly good. I talked to the nurse cousin. It seems q3-5d means once every 3-5 days. I'm sure glad I asked. She also agreed on the increased dosage, but I haven't given...
