Lol! Me and my husband actually just got back from 6 days in Belize last Monday. But this is all kind negating what relaxation did we get from that!!

We’ve decided if she’s shown no improvement by Saturday, we’ll put her down. She’s now acting like it’s harder to breathe. Opens her mouth slightly when she inhales. Could just be from constantly laying on her side, but I know this is all very hard on her. I don’t want her to suffer. And I think it will be harder on the kids if it drags out and she ends up dying anyway, you know?

Belize! :woot:love

I would use this time to explain to the kids about life and death of animals.
I'm not quite sure which words to use but...Google might have some good choices.

See how she is doing come tomorrow morning.
Play it day by day.

If her body and wings start to spread out, she stops eating, and starts sleeping a lot, and/or has very labored breathing, then, it would be best to end her suffering. She may be close to death, at that point. :hugs
 
Well, in a last ditch effort, I offered her up to anyone in my local chicken fb group that would be willing to take and care for her. She’s still alert, eating and drinking a little, this morning. So yeah, it’s hard to put her down, but we just can’t give her what she needs right now. So we’ll see.

I agree to disagree but I don't like this idea...spreading disease is not good.
:(

I know. Not the best plan. But if someone is already set up to receive and quarantine and care for, then why not try. It made my daughter feel a little better that she might go to a new home.

:rolleyes: What if you are dealing with Marek's disease and this new person isn't familiar with the disease and how EASILY it is spread and they take the bird which infects there flock and they end up with dead birds?

I am really against the idea of passing a sick bird on. I think it is your responsibility to either nurse her or end her suffering.
:oops:

We let Ella say goodbye first. Then got donuts for breakfast. We told her maybe we could get some chicks next spring she could raise. She was happy with that. She’s still debating if she wants another naked neck or something else.

That was sweet. Sweet Ella will be fine...you don't worry about her too much. Kids are tougher than we think.

For the love of money...please order chicks from Ideal next time.
They arrive within 12 hours of hatching.
