Sometimes you just can't fix them. Hugs.

Thanks.

It's nice when you can fix them, but sometimes, you can't.

Yeah, i had one with wry neck i couldn't do anything with. I put it down. But i found some bird vitamins in Walmart on clearance for 50 cents so i bought both bottles. To use for the littles.

I discovered yesterday that one of the chicks that hatched Wednesday had one leg splayed out to the side and it couldn't push itself up off the floor. So I put hobbles on it. This morning I found that it had pulled out of the hobbles and both legs were splayed out and the feet were cocked up off the bedding. It was starting to get sores on its hocks and it was acting pretty weak (it was pretty weak yesterday too). If the chick had fight, or would have eaten or drunk when I put it up to food, I would have given the thing a chance, but I just decided to cull it. The poor chick kept ending up in the bottom of a cuddle pile under the heater plate and probably would have been suffocated before the end of the day.

I am sorry Rae.

I hate when that happens! Culling is tough to do but necessary sometimes

Lol! Frenchie's son brought my crate back which is usually a nest box. I took the door off and put hay back in and put it back. Negan knows that is the "bye-bye" crate but can't resist making a nest....I watched that roo squish in sideways so I couldn't shut a nonexistant door on him. He is such a bow legged goober! Btw Cookie is doing great, getting beat up by women but he likes that kind of stuff.

Good morning, Squatchers!

A cecal poop really puts my old dog in the zone.

Good morning to you!

Good morning, Squatchers!

Hello, no coon in the trap this morning, but i am working on security today. The quail had a bad day yesterday. Lost one due to hypothermia, one egg bound that looked like it was sleeping, and one to a coon.

I hope today is better. I hate days like that.
