Just got back from the hospital.
"Multiple fractures and massive trauma"
He's still there, getting MORE cat scans. Like they didn't see anything with the first one???
Please everyone, don't offer to pick him up and take him home for me.
He won't get beaten up any worse if he stays there, out of my reach.

Oh, and they offered him a Motrin.
REALLY? A MOTRIN?

Thanks for all the offers, but this is NOT THE FIRST TIME HE HAS DONE THIS TO ME.

Now I'm gonna go out to the shed, and charge the battery on my bike.
I am tired of keeping myself safe just to be his caretaker. sigh.

Ugh. Be careful. Well, if ya need someone to talk to, or hang out with-just say the word. I'm sure we could get a gang together.

A MOTRIN? Hopefully they can give him a prescription for something stronger for at home.

Hey Guys, I gave Chipmunk the baby roo a bath and Tiana, and she has a pretty crossed beak:



Is this something to be concerned about? Will it correct itself?

Here's another angle:

I got rid of my bike, but I still have a helmet...

I say leave him in the hospital overnight, just to be on the safe side. Not that there might be anything wrong with him, but he might be safer there. It's like I tell other people's kids when they misbehave, "You better not do that because you might get hurt." This statement is accompanied by an evil smile with gritted teeth.

Here's a good article on crooked beaks....http://www.polishbreedersclub.com/crookedbeaks.htm
It appears that crooked beak is the result of a skull deformity and gets progressively worse, but then again there are those birds that turn out just fine.

Hi, Frank and I are born and raised Beaconites. Now we live in Greenwich in Washington County outside of Saratoga. It is farm country and chickens are everywhere. We got 15 chicks in April and we expect them to start laying in September. They are Rhode Island Red pullets. Our next door neighbors have chicken too, but they are in our yard more than their own. She put up a fence, but they jump right over a 5 foot fence. They follow my husband in a line as he is tilling the gardens. It is so funny to watch. One of the, Henrietta, follows my husband everywhere and even tugs at his pants for him to feed her. They were our inspiration to get our own chickens. When my husband whistles, ours come running. Thanks for the welcome.

I have a sister in Albany and a brother in Saugerties. I would love to move upstate where I could legally own 15 chickens! I love my girls...
