    Concern for Baby the beakless bird

    Baby has watery eyes. She seems OK but with birds who knows? I have not heard any sneezing. She is indoors of course. They are very watery both eyes. Any ideas why or what to do? I don't see any signs of infection yet. I appreciate any thoughts or experiences.

    Post Attack Morale

    I would keep them in the run for a few days then let them decide if they want to venture out. They are flock animals so try to replace the ones you lost. Don't feel bad when you have dogs sometimes it happens.

    Catwith broken leg

    I have a barn cat that has a broken leg. It is her front one. She is Ferrell. I plan on catching her today and getting her settled in a cage in the house. Can you give aspirin to a cat? I am not very knowledgeable in cat care. I just can't leave her to fend for herself in this weather. Coyotes...

    Baby the beakless bird

    Maybe I can get her a sunlight lamp. Hubby has come to love her too although having two house chickens wasn't in the vows. I think he might 🤔

    Baby the beakless bird

    Yes I agree she is very underweight! I don't know how to get her to gain weight. I give her dry cat food too but I am at a loss on what is nutrient rich and high calorie enough for her. I was thinking dried corn but nutrition wise maybe not. Can you give a bird a multivitamin? I am failing her...

    Is the pecking on the roost at night or all the time? One chicken or is anyone fair game to get feathers pulled?

    Baby the beakless bird

    Baby is 2, weighs about 2lb 5 Oz as much she will stay on my scale. She is a black set link. Or mutt. She has no top beak so she is torpedo fed. Nothing but nose.

    Baby the beakless bird

    I feed her til her crop is full then when it seems to empty out feed her again. I have no idea how much as far as measurements go. I have never had to hand feed a bird. She really doesn't preen with only one beak,but seems to fluff her feathers.

Her feathers are coming out and they are the new ones. She has no bugs. What am I doing wrong? She has a house chicken for company and gets roam...

    Broken beak after attack

    She is still passing runny stools and her crop doesn't seem to empty fully but that may be just me not sure yet. I am winging it for sure! I give her a few bites and half a syringe of water. I feed her 3 times a day sometimes more depending on how much she gets in her crop. I make sure it feels...

    Broken beak after attack

    Baby is eating with the torpedo method and is a lot easier on both of us. She has lost a lot of weight so now I need ideas of how much to feed her to gain again and what would be best. I guess cake wouldn't be the most healthy option but, I know it goes straight to my hind end! Any thoughts I...
