Aww, I get warm and fuzzy just hearing about other birds named Godzilla, and I swore these were farm animals!
I had to have a few talks with my boy about who was in charge, but I love him

i let his hen stay with him last night - (in my tub lines with towels) but this AM I put her out with the other girls because she didn't stay next to him like always and i dont even know if it will help. when i handle him and put him down he starts pecking at the food like a machine with bad aim. i'm not sure if his eyes are right or if he is just deteriorating. i've been giving him water with the dropper and will put a heating pad under him later. i don't know what else to do for him

Vitamins like Poly- vi -sol children s liquid vitamins and vitamin E capsules (gel). They help, believe me.

AWWW!!! What a GORGEOUS BOY!!

He looks like a tough little scrapper, too - I'm sure he'll recover with your obvious TLC.

Not The Best Pic of Sebastion, my Sebbie who can't walk after lead poisening. ( Ducks & geese don't stay clean, LOL) Perhaps you could make him a "chair" like I did for him. He is almost outgrown this one so i have to make another. Just PVC and some fabric with two leg holes and a poop hole.......

how does he eat in the sling? do you have to feed him by hand?

 

[cobrien]

make sure the food is high enough for him to be able to eat. experiment & observe. put a dish on a brick, maybe.

today was rough. he was having a hard time eating so i took his regular food - wet it - cooked it and turned it into a kind of mush. then i fed him with a tea spoon. this was he got water and food. He ate it. it took forever, but he ate it. then i brought his wife in and put her in the tub with him. that seemed to perk him up some. i massaged his back, did his PT - per the vet, fed him again. I didn't work this hard when my twins were babies!

but then my chickens never ask for money
