MJ's little flock

[LozzyR]

Oh my gosh!

I am so sorry.

Thank you. It was quite traumatic.

Do we have another update, MJ? This is so worrying.

 

[Shadrach]

With my inexperience, I'll have to keep waiting for an egg or a crow.

That's what I do. I did try at one point to sex chicks but with this lot I kept getting it wrong.
I don't worry about it anymore. It isn't really an issue with my keeping circumstances.

I just spoke to Dr Hill and Sandy's xrays showed a uterine infection. If she can gain strength he'll operate otherwise we're looking at euthanasia.

Very sad.

I'm starting to think Ivy might be a cockerel.

If this turns out to be the case you'll have to change her name to Ivan

 

[Shadrach]

Fat Bird is my kinda gal!

I'm rather fond of her myself.

At least you know now.

All the hugs MJ

No, she started limping. I took her to the vet and she got put on antibiotics and pain meds. She had two weeks of that and slowly seemed to be getting better, then suddenly stopped walking (limping). She was still eating and drinking so had an x-ray. The avian specialist thought it was possibly cellulitis but wasn’t completely sure. We were going to start her on stronger antibiotics but when the vet knocked her out to get fluids into her and clip her vent feathers, she had trouble breathing on her side and her heart-beat was fading rapidly. He brought her to me wrapped in a towel and she died in my arms.

And more hugs for you Lozzy

What a unexpected and horrible experience.
