Hi everyone. Finally good news! Hope's previous owner brought me another sick chick yesterday. Same problem as Hope, it seems. I phoned the vet and asked him for advice. Gave her antibiotics and I went and bought some multivitamin stress medicine for chickens to give her a boost. I think I...

Had a chat with Hope's previous owner and made him promise in future to bring me any sick/injured chicks immediately.

Quote: You've just quoted me! I say that all the time. In fact I'm planning on taking it one step further... I'm planning on getting another tattoo soon, well, as soon as I can afford to go to a really skilled artist. I don't have a design yet, but I'm thinking a hand holding a small chick...

I've been nursing a sick chick since yesterday and after today I can't help but wonder: what is WRONG with people? I rescued a poor little 4-week-old chick that I found at a friend's house. He happily gave it to me after telling me the poor thing's been like that for a whole week. The chick had...
