I think everyone here has been very kind and helpful to me and to my poor "plastered" chicken. You had no way of knowing I was actually IN Ecuador. I have loved reading on this board, it really helps to read about all of your experiences so that I can be prepared for mine.

I guess now, if someone from a developing country accidentally feeds her chicken plaster, that person will have a been-there-done-that-thread to read through. Although, I sincerely doubt there will be anyone who needs to learn from my dumb-head experience.

Plaster of "Paris", is doing very well. She seems to be no worse for wear.

CoopCrazy, you're funny. To be honest, I didn't realize she was not in the USA either.

The name "Stucco" would be good too, especially if the chick turns out to be a roo (the Lord forbid).

Only 1 chick? i would suggest getting atleast 1 more. he will be lonely by himself

This is such a cute thread. I am happy your little one is doing well. We here in the states are so use to running down to any store and getting what we need, we tend to forget there are "natural" ways of doing things.

I bid for the name "led bottom"

Does this mean that the chick will poop its own grit. LOL

Talk about pasty butt. . . You'll have spackle butt.

Plaster of Paris is mostly calcium. From what I've read, chicks don't need calcium until they start laying. So you might want to hold off on giving them plaster!

I'm glad that "Paris" is doing alright. It's a good thing that chickens have a different digestion system (no stomach) than other animals. I've been feeding the rats, that have made themselves at home in my chicken run, a mixture of peanut butter and Plaster of Paris

to kill them. Supposedly the POP hardens after it is eaten and kills them. Chickens on the other hand wouldn't have any problem grinding up any POP that they ingest.

I was clued in about the Ecuadorian priest - so I read your other posts to verify it. I was delighted, because living in Ecuador can be a very difficult experience to those used to the lifestyle in the US, but it an incredily rewarding experience. Gorgeous country and fascinating culture.

Glad to hear Paris is doing well!

I think Plaster is a fantastic name! Glad she made it thru the first adventure.

Do you have any idea how old she is?

and

Plaster

Chances are she didn't really "eat" much. She probably tasted it, thought it was nasty and picked at whatever else she could. I would think if she actually digested any and had problems, you would know by now.

I think "Paris" if it's a girl and "POPs" (Plaster of Paris) if it's a roo.
