Day 3 FLAT crop! They are back on dirt, but no grass for foraging. They get fresh grated and chopped greens from their momma (ME)

Yippee! A true success story!!

Winnie is a Blue Ameraucana, and Snowball is a Splash Ameraucana.

This is amazing!!, what a turn around...I whould say allow her a unlimited amount of her main feed, I'd asume she's on a grower formula?, but limit anything else like treats to a very small amout each day then gradually start her free ranging again.Make sure you grass is really short so she caint rip off long strands and I whould keep her off shavings from now on as its seams it may have all started because of her consuming shavings at least that's what I'm thinking caused this to happen. This is an all around incredible outcome and I'm am really pleased that she's pulled thru and is doing so well!, awesome job!

Thanks! Yes she has unlimited access to grower crumbles and fresh water all day while awake, and her treats are the tiny cut up greens (just a little to get her used to it). No more pine shavings EVER! Lol!

She is so happy to be back on dirt again for her baths with her sister.

I know she is not 100% yet, and will continue to monitor her. I can't wait til she feels solid in my arms like her sister. She weighs next to nothing. She is a survivor.

Vid on page two. So amazing. I watched it a few times. Bookmarked it. Don't watch if you are allergic to medical stuff.

Was a beautiful operation.

I love great news!

Today my girl is acting normal. Lots of spunk but her crop was not totally empty this morning. Not sure if she found something in the small run attached to their mini coop or what. She's acting ok tho so I'm going to watch her. I think i need a crop bra. In other news I have 1 silkie baby hatched so far
