We got a speckled Sussex pullet on the weekend it’s now Thursday & we just picked this up on our evening rounds of food & water. She’s been in a quarantine cage & has been plucky & friendly.
Her egg had been forced past her sphincter but was unable to pass out of the passage? You can see her...
Thank you so much for the reply!
That success post was great & it’s almost exactly how I wrapped the leg so I’m hoping as it’s so early that it works, I was looking at my guy thinking the angle was too large but it’s almost exactly what the vets done for the peachick. I’m going to keep an eye...
I have a day old Astrolorp chick with a slipping tendon on its hock.
I’ve looked it up & read what I can do to sort it.
The tendon won’t stay in so as per what I’ve read I’ve taped it & splinted it, I’ve also put a pair of braces on like for spraddle leg.
The chick is doing ok & mainly resting...

Her crop feels spongy & not even half full just got a poo from her now she’s separated looks like it has blood through it 😕 it could be s separate issue & unrelated to the styrofoam as all the chicks could have had a go at it & not just one.
Thanks for replying, I’ve put some grit & oil in with her & as well as water I guess I just need to wait & see. She’s in her own little space so she’s not knocked around now but she can still hear the other chicks.
It was a sizable chunk maybe the size of two walnuts that disappeared but she’s...
One of my my 3 week old Lav. Sussex chicks has eaten a chunk of polystyrene overnight (been moved well out of reach now) & is standing (won’t sit) eyes half closed/closed & not moving around, leans against other chicks when they come near, wings a bit droopy. I know things can go from so-so to...
