i am so happy for the both of you. sounds like she didnt care for him much. i almost lost my buff orpington rosey last month and i was devistated. we had vet trips twice. the Lord let me keep her. i am so blessed. i love her so much. it would break my heart if something happen to her. she is a special and unique chicken. i am so happy you get to keep him. you will always have a specila bond with him.
Lucky is awake and chattering after night number 2
To recap yesterday, I managed to patch up his cracks in his beak, got some chick starter mash into him and then I gave him some medicine to take care of his scaly leg mites along with any other internal or external icky bugs he may have.
My two yr old son was watching me feed Lucky with the syringe and a little later while I was making dinner my son decided to feed Lucky too...lol He would touch the syringe to the food then poke it through the holes in the laundry basket and touch it to Lucky's beak, all the while saying, "eat, eat" ...Lucky didn't mind and it was so sweet to watch him, then he grabbed the little cup I'd been using for water, run over and fill it up from the door on the fridge, though I had to stop him before he dumped it on Lucky's head LOL
