He is doing so well! He has been able to spend the days out side with his girls and his crow is almost 100%. He is truly an amazing animal. He must have really wanted to live. We love his so much. Everyday when I come home from work he greats me and expects a back scratch. We are treating him...
Well it's been over a month and Batman is still on the slow road to recovery. We had already planned to keep him in the garage until spring.mthe tips of his toes have been falling offline by one, and he seems to stand more comfortably now. I hardly ever catch him in his odd head hanging...
Looking back and reading more about it. I think his feet have been severely frost bitten. He is doing really well. His last dies of Meda was given yesterday. He is still hanging his head down every once in a while, but he east well and drinks well. He also keeps trying to walk around.
I bought some very nice ameraucana eggs today, locally. I was just wondering if there is anyone to tell if the egg is dead before I put them in the bator? Thank you!
The Vet Prescribed him with Oxycycline it is in 100 mg pill form. The vet told me to administed the medication directly and not put it in his water so he can get exactky the amount he is supposed to. I would suggest using a feeding syringe/ tube to adminiter the medication directly into his crop...
Batman is showing a steady improvement every day :) I put one of his favorite girls in with him and they seem to really enjoy snuggling and talking to each other all day :) His feet are definitely shedding a ton! But I think it's just shedding not mites.
Supplies:

Drill
Heating pad
Water heater thermostat
Thermometer/ hydrometer
DH ;)
First gut your mini fridge. Remove back panel there is already a fan inside of this one yay!!! Then drill a hole for the cord. Take your heating pad and cut out the regulator you will regulate with...
I was thinking about giving him one of my bantie hens for companionship. The bantie girls always loved to snuggle with him on the ground. Do you guys think its safe? No other flock members have shown any signs of illness and its been a solid 3 weeks.
Anybody?
This morning after a night of Vaseline it almost looks like a snake shedding skin so I'm hoping its safe to say that he is simply shedding his scales but I'm no expert...
So today I noticed that Batman's legs were flaking and peeling. Scaly leg mites? Dead skin from his feet being swelled to 2X the normal thickness? I need a seasoned chicken experts advice???
Either way I smothered with Vaseline. And he seemed to enjoy that lol.
