Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

Go for it. Sounds like your luck couldn't get much worse.

You'd be surprised.

If I didn't already have to stack 45 chickens in a 8 x 5 coop for a few months, I'd hatch 20 and keep the one girl I'd probably get.

Pink and dry is good.... Just keep an eye on it.
It is a bit concerning, eh?

Dang. Scab is off but this chick is going mushy on me.

Anyone here have experience using levofloxacin for these kinds of infections with their bantams? It's all I have on tap right now, having a hard time finding a smaller bottle of tylan here in the city.

Uh oh, sorry.

Looks wet? I'd try some vitamins like Nutridrench or even sav a chick. Keep it warm and dry.

Started damp on its own when the umbilical scab began to come off, I cleaned the area and treated with neosporin, sorry for the greasy feathers. Think a shallow epsom salt soak might help the swelling? Soft belly felt a bit firmer and more concentrated into a lump this morning. Will add vitamins to the mix, gave a nibble of scrambled egg yesterday. Chick eats and drink with vigor still.

Thanks for the off topic help, y'all are the most experienced thread I frequent.

@TattooedChicks how's she doing today??

Almost 3 months old, my blue SDW.

@TattooedChicks how's she doing today??

Sad to say, wonderful this morning but I literally just received a call from my husband. He found her flopped over in the brooder on the heating pad and she died in his hands while he was mixing up some emergency sugar water to administer. At least we tried. Poor thing.
