I really thought I was pass the stage of losing a chick!!! My lil d'uccle MF started really being lethargic and I tried sugar water and finally got some vitamins but I don't think I got them quick enough. He quit eating and I tried more sugar water but last night he was gasping for breaths and was suffering so we had to give him peace. My dh did it for me cuz there was no way I could have. He was my fave bird....figures huh?? He was born with crooked toes and I never could fix them so I wonder if there was a genetic issue going on? Everyone else is healthy and fine but I am sure sad we had to deal with culling a chick!! I know it can go with raising chickens but I was hoping to be a lucky one and not deal with it. I miss the sweet lil' cuddler!!!
