Hi Carri, How's he doing this morning???

I didn't let him... he just did.

Not fun to clean up!

Well, I gave him his shot this morning, he's eating a lot of eggs and he's balancing on his own while he lays down. He got out of his house last night, but he must have fallen out because he was laying on his side.... hence the poop on the carpet.

He actually got out twice. He's in a taller house now!

Carri - what was actually wrong with him? Glad to hear he's improving.

Way to go Hotwings!

He was sort of wabbling around. We had a float done, treated everyone for roundworm, but he was still doing it. We had another float done thinking it was cocci, but it wasn't. Then, he would fall over and couldn't get up. We had the state come out for tests (negative), and then DH took him to the vet to be put down.
But, the vet said it is a head or back injury, probably from running into a tree in a fit of lust (Potpie runs fast

), or maybe falling off of his roost.
So, we are taking it one day at a time. He's not in the clear yet. He's been trying to stand but he's still pretty weak.
