Alaska Chicken Lover's Soup for the Cold!!

So sorry Deb.

He put up a good fight. I was really rooting for the little guy.

 

[Mrs MIA]

Maybe try taking the tape off for a little while?

I'm sorry...

 

[Wolfwoman]

Aww poor baby

but if he's always fussing then you know he's not happy...

 

[MrsDeb]

This is what he does without assistance....

Hes stoppped protesting as much though now that the tape is off. I just can't help
but wonder if he can even poop without assistance? His belly will fill up so tight that
it turns purple. He poops a little on his own but when I touch that swollen area it explodes.

 

[Wolfwoman]

Ooh... I wonder if he has a twisted intestine or something similar that's only letting a little bit pass through??

 

[Ban seabhag]

It sounds like something may be wrong internally alright. Poor little rascal. He's a fighter, and its hard to let him go.

Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain :

Some update photos of the Lav/split-lav babies from Angie.

I see one split-lav girl and MAYBE one each of the lavenders... do I dare hold my breath? I have two more chicks in the brooder.

Split-lavenders... two boys and a girl?

That's a nice group Tori. I am no good at this but I think a girl and a boy for those two lavs......​

It's awfully quiet around here lately!.....Pretty uneventful day for me. got the baby bunnies tattooed.....I'm down to two babies available after Laura and Donna take their
babies home. One Sandy and one black that is turning a dark steel grey both does.

Shooter is still here. I'll see what he does without taping. I just couldn't do it yet.

See some of you tomorrow? Who all is coming so I know who to look for?

 

[debilorrah]

Ah Deb Shooter is sooo cute and really does look healthy, but I do trust your judgement on what is best for the little guy

Sometimes these birds just seem like they should be ok and then one day they are gone.

 

[Wolfwoman]

Soooooooooo who's going to be in town tomorrow?
