Gonna be treating the silkie chick today.

I already forgot what's wrong with it. What's going on?

Marthe is still doing the same. I moved her from the bowl into a dog crate and she moves around it a lot even though her legs dont work. Very flop. Her toes are super curled up & she sprawls a lot. she can get her legs under her to sit up, but standing is out of the question. shes still eagerly eating and drinking.

I'm considering tying her legs together like how you do for splayed leg chicks. but I'm not sure where it would be the most helpful.

The rest of my young birds have no symptoms so far.

& speaking of gamefowl, my two American gamehens have been missing for awhile. still not sure if theyll turn up with babies or if they're gone for good.

If there's hawks, then they could've gotten snatched up.

Maybe you should get a Malay, or two to add to your flock?

If the Breeder in Texas doesn't come get this boy, he'll be available for someone else.

Would anyone hate me if I made Cochins with long legs ?

I thought the Guineas were enough too, but one got eaten by an unknown raptor.

I turned Monster into a Laser Cat with natural Eye Shine as the Laser Eyes.
