Hi all! Popping back in with a chick update! I am super impressed with Greenfire. I ordered 6 chicks and they sent me 14! Everyone arrived alive. Five of them were ayam cemanis too! Four of those are doing great. The fifth one has slipped tendons in both hocks
Sometimes they can recover from this if you can keep them alive long enough that the groove that holds the tendon in place grows enough to actually keep it from slipping. So I'm feeding the baby from a syringe a couple times a day. We'll see. I also have a very helpful vet helping me on this. He told me he sees a lot of poultry. He had me text him pictures of the baby and he even called me after clinic hours last night to give me advice. I haven't ever taken an animal to see him and I'm not paying him for help so this is really impressive to me.
The other chicks are doing really well too. I got at least two CCL pullets, two others that I am on the fence on - can't decide whether they're pullets or cockerels. The rest are cockerels, so if anyone wants a nice CCL rooster let me know
Pictures to come latWe;; mp
