I feel a little better at least he will be used.
As much as I hated him I couldn't kill and eat him. My plan was if no one had taken him by them time I moved everyone else I was going to cull and leave his body in the woods to be eaten by something else.
I wish I knew what went wrong in his brain. With his loss I know have 1 of the original 7 swedish flowers I hatched. Maybe there is something wrong with the blood line....

I felt the same way about Odin.. he was fine at first then something just turned. Then he got really bad. I don't think it's anything w/ that particular bird, it's just like that sometimes. The 2 lavs were huge, but even so they never gave me any problems. I assume it's something hormonal, maybe too much testosterone or some other chemical issue. I doubt there's anything to that you could do about it.

Ouch. My mom likes to say that God made cockerels jerks so you don’t feel bad about killing them.

That sounds about right.

I know. He's the first to go that wasn't physically ill. That's what I'm struggling with.

Gladys isn't doing so good either. Another one of the cuckoo Marans is also showing signs of leg problems.

When I put everything in the symptom checker mostly deficiencies or malabsorption come up. A viral infection is also possible but down the list.

Gladys was doing better when she was getting mackerel but I had to stop it when her crop soured. I was giving poly-visol but I don't think it's the right vitamins and minerals.
She got salmon for breakfast so I'll see how it goes. She seems perfectly happy but I know not being able to walk is no life.

That's so strange. Is the sour crop cleared up now?

Crop seems good. Her poop is smelly. It's an odd smell though. Not sure how to describe it.

Did you get her some granite grit? That can often help with crop issues.

It will take a couple more days for digestion to get back to normal
 
I'm home, much less dignity than when I left. New Dr is ok I suppose, he's not likely to ever be my favoriate person but he'll do. He looks you dead in the face which is a bit unsettling and dosen't blink much also his eyebrows don't match his hair...weird. Anyway over and done for now, got to go back for a hootergram but i'm in no rush.:hmm

Or it had been eating that fancy showbird feed like @Chickassan bought, and ran away to become a Broadway star

I hope not. It is always such a letdown when they go off chasing big dreams and just end up lost, posted on facebook or craigslist.:hit

Yes the hootergram, the old pull and squash. I think i'll put that off as long as possible, they aren't acting up and i'm in no hurry for mechanical torture. :caf

I would be in no hurry too! I have known gals that left the office all kinds of bruised. One coworker showed me the bruising on the underarm side cause she was really worried. Taters she was bruised black from under the arm to the middle of her ribcage.

Being a big gal in that area there is no way I will get one. It would be like popping bubble wrap, squish just enough then BOOM.
