Thank you all so much. The kids and I had a funeral for Claribel this morning and we will plant a nice hosta where she is burried. Some people think I am nuts for mourning a chicken. I'm very glad this forum is here for emotional support.
I couldn't save her. She is gone now.
Please, everyone who reads this. Be so careful not to let them fly out of your hands. I had her with both hands and she flapped hard and flipped right out of them. This happened so quickly and now she died from it.
should I really try a bath? I read somewhere else in this forum that that is not a good idea.
She swallowed a little yogurt earlier and we are going to try Gatorade and crumbles mixed.
She still has not pooped and she will not open her eyes now
This one is Clarabel. I can tell them apart when I can look closely, but not when they are moving quickly.
She has hung on so far today, but I don't think she will make it. She is not eating at all and its harder to get her to drink now. I tried to get her to eat some yogurt but she...
I just remembered that one of the chicks jumped while being put back in the brooder yesterday. Hit the floor from about 3 feet up. She seemed fine at the time, and they all seemed fine last night. I can't be sure it was this one because I can't really tell them apart.
She does feel all...
she is still breathing. She will still drink if I dip her beak in water. She has no interest in food. (Any suggestions?)
the other girls are looking for her
2 and a half weeks. I just set up an isolation box for her. got her to drink a little by dipping her beak in the water. She won't eat our drink on her own
I have three chicks, they were fine last night. this morning one of them did not get up to greet me. She is not walking and fluttering like her sisters. She is sitting very still on my lap now. She will startle
What should I do?
