Perseverance Farmstead : Stories of my flock

[Pastel the Rooster]

So, Ditsy ( my new male guinea) has some neurological problems. Today I let him and Pie out of their dog crate into my adult guineas area, and they got pecked and attacked, but it was not too bad. Ditsy went into a corner laid down, stretched his head/neck out and spread out his wings, screaming. I grabbed him, cuddled with him ( he was shaking) and put him into the crate, and then Pie. I don't think that either one of them are gonna be free range birds. Ditsy would die without Pie. She is his therapy bird. She keeps him going. We are gonna have a nice, big section for the two of them ASAP. Sorry for the sad story.

I'm on this thread too I like your stories, your profile picture looks like my favorite rooster, Nekbother (it's a funny name, but he DOES have a problem with his neck, he doesn't stretch his neck when he crows and also has a very deep voice)! Excited for your next story!

I'm so sorry about your little chicks! I can't stand culling a little chick, never mind a chicken.

Thanks! I might be posting some stories of MY flock too! There are lots of things that have happened and some of them haven't ended up so well

So... I've been super busy lately, so forgive my absence! I have a new Golden Laced Wyandotte named Willow, and BBQ has bumblefoot and is getting a bath right now

Bumblefoot is a staff infection in the birds foot. It can kill the bird if you can't treat it. Luckily I caught it early this time. When she had it earlier this year, I caught it sorta late, but I researched to much, and I was able to help her. There is a black scab on the birds foot, and there is puss in the foot. Sometimes you need to cut the birds foot open, but I have been soaking her foot and trying to squeeze the black scab ( the stem).
