Harvey the Great is Dying. . .

[A.M. Eggs]

I just read the entire thread and this is reminding me of my sick hen Eleanor. Beginning on "the ides of March"(Shakespeare ), my beautiful blue-green eyed hen fell ill with an infection called Salpingitis located in the oviducts of a chicken. For two weeks I thought to myself "why doesn't she just die already? She looks so sick and sad." After two weeks, a miracle happened. Eleanor was suddenly drinking and eating and walking around. She was still a little wobbly but was making good progress. Today she is acting like a normal happy hen who runs around and makes loud noises, but she can not be considered all better until she lays an egg again. I happened to have broody hen that hatched out her son Eckle while she was sick just in case she did pass. He is so sweet and cute! I hope that, like Eleanor, a miracle shall take place for your rooster. This world is a beautifully mysterious place where the unthinkable can happen. Never give up!

No problem. Rather than trying to hunt some, I find it easier to just go into a bait shop (or a pet store) and buy some of the live crickets or mealworms they have packaged for sale as reptile food.

For me to go to town, any town with a store, is a round trip of over 50 miles. With gasoline prices at $3.50 a gallon I don't go unless I have to. . . . . . I have Harvey some dried mealworms and 20% chick food. . . . .

Well, I don't have any great knowledge or wisdom to offer you or Harvey the Great, but it has certainly been my experience that God hears and answers prayer, so that's what I am doing: asking God to heal the old boy of whatever ails him and get him to eating, strutting, crowing and taking care of his flock again, and bringing you joy! Peace to you.

Thank you, Thank you!! God does care about the smallest things on our lives, certainly he can hear our prayers for Harvey!

Such good news for your Eleanor! I know that Harvey does not have salpingitis, but I'm hoping he does the same as Eleanor! thank you!

Yes I see. After researching I can get Fish Mox here. The store was out but I ordered it and I'm praying it will be in soon. Thanks for caring for Harvey!
