Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[frankensusan]

keep us updated pls!

Morning. Wow. That is a bright and flashy sunshine there!

That's better. The sun only just came up over here on the West Coast, i'm still on first coffee.

hillflower I'm sorry about your chick, I am always amazed at how attached I get to them

Ok. So this morning Peg had her splint 1/2 off... Time to try again with part of a q-tip, just try to bend that!
1. At the noon resplinting I will try again for close ups of the hock.
2. I'll try to play with the legs of my healthy chicks to see if I can figure out this tendon thing.
3. There is a spot of blood on her hock, it is NOT from walking on it. This leads me to believe there is something worse going on inside.
4. She had a very runny poop... Apparently she's sometimes throwing a runny, every other time I've seen her they've been normal.

So I'm coming around to the idea that she may have a systemic infection, going to get some baby aspirin and call another vet who's a friend of mine as well to see if I can beg for a Buddy Discount for an xray and antibiotic shot. Maybe I can trade a full studio painting of her favorite dog for treatment?

Thanks for listening, my internal farmer/accountant is telling me to cut my losses and go for another hatch of eggs, and I have 6 beauties which is all I want to keep anyway.
But my chicken math calculator is already figuring out the possibilities of how many of them will be roos (= i can't keep).
My scheduler is telling me to fix the coop and the fencing, and tame the healthies while I can.

Glad you guys are here, my son just rolls his eyes at me, and my hubby smiles and nods but I know he doesn't "get" it.

BYC is the best.

Good morning!

really? oh wow! will you have to pay for this 3D Oh my! did they say what they are giving her?

Well, I don't have 200 plus dollars (which is how much it cost for just last night.) They are giving her nutritional fluids with a certain kind of antibiotic. My mom is paying for it. She is an amazing person.

They sometimes have a runny poop. Nothing to worry about, espeically if she's having other normal poops.

From what you described, it really sounds like a slipped tendon. How old is she? The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get it back in place.

I dont like to say it, but been there with u on this, and just went through a week from hell with Bubba chick, sometimes our gut tells us something real strong, we better do as we are told, like it or not : (. its times like this where we just want to hear it and it aint loud enough..... like saying "ok God I am counting to 10, give me a sign on 10 AND MAKE IT LOUD OK? please?

Morning Rusty Byrd

Oh, I just read about symptoms on what was wrong with Bella, and I think it is omphalitis. By reading your article, I think that there is not much hope for him. Can the other chicks get it? I think they already have too. One or both (can't remember) both have blackish blueish navel areas.
