Well, I went to buy some pullets and found the poor girls being kept in horrid conditions. My heart was breaking as I left with 5, yet there were many more needing help. So what started as a flock expansion has turned into a bit of a rescue operation. The conditions were mud, no shelter, over crowding, dirty water, barely any feeding. I bathed them all up and noticed lice on a few so I plan to dust them and quarantine them. I also noticed blood in the stools so will probably treat with corid as well. Any advice on things to watch for in birds such as these? There is evident feather loss, they are also very thin, can I feed them as I would healthy birds? Do I need to be checking vigilantly for worms?? Any advice for a rescue situation would be appreciated!!
