It is funny what we do for our chicks. I lost my speck. sussix (sp?) about 4 months ago, so idea why. I asked the guy in the feed store and I guess she had an egg stuck. Then about a month ago my buff started getting the same thing going on. I said to my husband I will be darn if I am going to loose another one. I took her in gave her a warm bath to soak. and yes I stuck my finger up her butt until I found that darn egg. I had to do it of an on for 3 days, we got the eggs out, and now she is fine! She lays good again and nothing stuck.
That was nasty, I almost got sick doing it! lol but I still have her at least she is such a sweet heart and I would do it again if it meant saving her.
I even have put baby chicks in my bra and slept with them, went shopping too with them in there. At least until they had a buddy at least. I don't have the heart to listen to them cry every time I put them down. lol My 4 yr old son thinks that is gross because of the poo in my bra. hehe He is so grossed out w/poo I asked him once to pick some off the floor w/a napkin because I was doing something, he started gagging like he was going to get sick. lol Gotta love him though!
