**Sick Chick**I Need Sympathy

[Nivrocco]

To make a long story shorter..I wound up with a chick about 6 weeks old. Of course, the next day it doesn't look like it feels good. Thank goodness I heeded all of the warnings about quarentining new birds. One eye was swollen, and it seemed lethargic. I gave Duramycin, Poly-vi-sol, etc..At first it looked a little better, but now I don't think so. It eats well and poops look ok..BUT, regardless of what it is, most of these illnesses seem to make the bird a carrier. SO...I need to cull it. There is no way I want any of that crap spreading through my flock (if it doesn't already). I've tried to be careful, but I also need prayers...and give me the strength to kill the chick-I may get my Dad to it...

Thanks, I feel a little better now..

Im so sorry

It sucks when you have to cull one of your animals i have been there and done that. I just kept telling myself it's for its own good, and so the flock doesnt get sick either. Otherwise my chicken would have died a slow and painful death, so just have ur time with it and get it done as fast and as least hurtful as possible. Im so sorry about your chick
