Have you checked inside her mouth?

Just to update, Peep Peep is still with us. We've let nature take it's course and haven't treated her with anything and there haven't been any new lesions. The current lesions are drying out and she's beginning to scratch at them. She might just surprise us all and make it.

I'm rooting for you!!!

I'm not the never give up type. Would have ,could have done differently. This has been a matter of leaving it up to others, supporting what is, and nothing more.

How is she?

How is she?

I think she's getting stronger. She's becoming more and more frustrated with the lesions on her face & beak. Seems to be trying to blow her nose to get the lesions off, and scratching at the others. Shaking her head a lot. She's eating and drinking fine, and actually seems to be growing some. She was about 6-8 weeks old when the disease process started, and she's remained about the same size since. I've read that she may never really grow and that could potentially create a problem with housing & friends for her down the line, so I'm praying she gets to at least the size of a small chicken. Thank you so much for asking!

Glad to hear! I think she will pull through.
If she stays small you can pair her with some bantams.

Would a bantam be something like a silkey?

Would a bantam be something like a silkey?

Yes. And any other bantam breed like a bantam rhode island red, bantam leghorn, D'Uccle, D'Anver, bantam Ameraucana, etc.
