Pip-Squeak and Charlotte (she is much smaller and lighter)
Her beak and ear...status.
Her left foot (had already hemorraged and then created a bubble of air under skin, started seeping, then crusting up)
Right foot, hemorraged severely, now body is absorbing blood under skin and creating the bubble air pocket that the left foot under went. You can also see a small hemorrage lingering under her bottom toe.
I spoke with a very generous person over the phone about Pip Squeak (thank you Sonja, for leading me to this wonderful man and for your generosity). He was very knowledgable about poultry medications and conditions. He thought that she has a condition called hemorrhagic dermatitis, instead of biotin deficiency (or along with biotin deficiency). He was generous and giving and agreed to send me medication in the mail for this sweet chick. I will start the meds the moment they come in the mail. I pray and hope that this is the answer. I will continue to administer biotin as well....by crushing the pill dissolved in water. I also put meal worms in the water to flavor it for her to allow me to give it to her thru a dropper. Without the meal worm taste she will not accept the vitamin solution.
I will continue to update.
