there isn't anything like hugging a horse and burying your face in their mane. Especially on a bad day.

so true! boy, I could really use a horse today. I hate this whole "moving" thing. Think I may need to take a little me time and go visit my daughter in Ill. for a few days.

Myhouse is turning into the land of misfit chicks.

Anyone want a mentally challenged Ancona duckling? He walks in circles and sleeps alot. Loves cuddling. can eat and drink and take care of himself, even if it does take him twice as long to get across the brooder.

Sounds like an inner ear issue.

Sounds like an inner ear issue.

his head is slightly mishapen and one eye is half the size of the other too. Could it be a misdeveloped inner ear?

 

[vehve]

Could be, or something else affecting the balance... Probably caused by the same thing that caused the deformities.

 

[minihorse927]

Wierd. He seems OK otherwise.

Horses have their own way of healing people. I used to ride as a kid, now only once in a while. DH hasn't officially said no to a horse, just "next bigger property". While I love big horses my dream would be an Akhal Tekke. I learned how to ride on them.

sounds like, hopefully not genetic?

put of the hundreds of Ancona I've hatched this is the first one like this. I just think it's a bad luck of that one.

I don't think it will be an issue... the balance thing will probably stop him from being able to mate, and he won't pass it on. He could develop some future issues too, though. Was he an assisted hatch?
