How are the rescues doing?Here are my March babies. I wasn't planning to have chicks until May. These needed rescuing,. They're not out of the woods but cautiously optimistic. My first post about them was on iIlness / injury board today because they were very unwell with extreme pasty butt and even pasty feet when I got them yesterday. I had to bring them home I couldn't leave them at the feed store like that. They are 10 days old. 2 are silkies I don't know what the other two are. It doesn't matter they needed help and I was there. We've had a very hard 24 hours but they are perking right up now after much treatment, and getting them eating and drinking and dealing with sore bottoms. I thought one or more may pass so I even got them outdoors for a short while to dig in the dirt (harder than it sounds we're still buried in snow and I didn't want to chill them). I just want them to have normal chick experiences, their first 10 days don't appear to have been very good. I thought if they aren't going to make it at least they can be warm, more comfortable and do a few chicken things. I do hope they will all thrive and become part of our diverse flock, for now just trying my best for them and seeing signs it may be working.View attachment 3445263View attachment 3445265View attachment 3445266
I'm happy to say they're doing very well, thanks for asking! Two are still a bit bald around the bottoms but that'll grow back. Only 1 of the 4 needed any treatment at all tonight and just a bit. They're like 4 healthy, happy, regular chicks now. It's such a relief. I atill have no idea what the two non-silkies are but I'll try to get some good pics for ID'ing soon. This wasn't about who they are breed wise but who needed help. I didn't even kow two were silkies until I got them home and started working with them. Have to think of some names now tooHow are the rescues doing?
