Quote: Your hostility and know-it-all attitude is not appreciated. I have had chicks my entire life and have never had pasty butt except for the ones that I HATCHED MYSELF. Just because you do things a certain way does not mean that you should belittle other people for doing it differently...

Quote: My husband's uncle owns a pet store and he told me to give it to them all as a preventative.

mother o' chicks72 : did the little white one make it? No, sadly I lost her around 3 this morning. She was a fighter though. On a positive note, I have 5 little fluffy chubby chicks left that are very perky and dont show any signs of illness or anything. Hopefully all will go well.

Quote: I don't mean to take over this thread, but this is exactly what I am hearing out of my chick, the popping noise when it breathes. Where do I get this broad spectrum antibiotic? We have a store called farm and fleet up here that has it. I bet any local feed and supply store might have...

Thanks everybody! It is just so sad, even when you know it is probably going to happen. nhblond, I was actually thinking about your post as I was scooping all 11 chicks into that sad little TSC Happy Meal-style box on Friday! I had read it when you first posted it and thought, that sounds like...

Well, the little white one is on her way out. So I am down to 5 out of the original 11. I suppose I knew that this was what was going to most likely happen when I got them. But that doesn't make it any less sad. I did the best I could, though. The remaining 5 are so spunky, they are always...

Quote: Yes, I was commenting to my husband last night that they seemed way smaller than the first batch of bantams I got from a different TSC that uses a different hatchery. They are Old English Game Bantams though, so I do not know if they are generally smaller than the sebrights I got...

Well, I have lost 5 so far. 3 of which I did not expect to lose. The white one is still alive, although she still looks the same. They have had the electrolyte/vitamin powder in their water since I got them, and I just added agrimycin-343 to their water. The last one that I lost was drinking and...

#1animallover : i know this might sound crazy but if i couldn't think of any thing else to do and they werent doing good i would see what a vet had to say. i hope they r gonna be ok. We dont have any vets that do chickens around here. Probably closest one is about 4 hours away in Springfield.

Sadness. I lost the brown one. He was cold and stiff so he had been gone a while before we got back. And one of the 8 that I was not expecting to lose just died. Horrifyingly. He was spasming and foaming at the beak when we got home about 5 minutes ago and died shortly after. Im glad he died on...

Thanks. Not sure my husband will feel the same way when he wakes up and finds my little "clinic" set up in the living room. But I just gave them some yogurt and oatmeal mixed together. I dont have any eggs, imagine that! I was thinking about picking some out of a breakfast hot pocket but Im not...

Quote: FOR FREE!?!?! Jeez, imagine a store putting the birds welfare ahead of making money. This lady wouldnt even give me a discount on them. I told her, "these two look like they are dying. Can I just take them since I am getting some other ones too?" And she said that she couldnt give them...

I went to TSC today to see what kind of bantams they got in, and they were all the same except one. The one different one is all white and she wont open her eyes all of the way. Another one is doing to same thing. The looked on the brink of death at the store, and after the manager told me that...
