URGENT-- frozen feet!

[Farmgirl1878]

I hope they all do well and heal quickly. And that Fred doesn’t mind giving up her bed for that long!

SHE DOESN'T EVEN USE IT!
But she is SO offended. She's just moping around the house.
Babies are settled in for the night.

Everyone seems about the same this morning. Everyone is eating and drinking, no one is walking very much. Victoria seems like her feet are more swollen, but she is walking about the most of the three.
I guess it's just a waiting game now.

I’m glad they’re eating and drinking! Keep the faith.

LOL I can't help but smile over Fred, that sad face is just too cute! They do get offended over what we consider minor things. Give her a hug

I'm so very sorry about your sweet little birds. It's good that they are eating/drinking.
Thank you for the update and photos.

I'll add more later.
I've decided to keep putting the castor oil on the feet. It was an accident the first time, but I googled it yesterday and it is supposed to be very good for the skin, with antibacterial properties, and is said to help speed healing.
I'll let you all know how it goes!

Glad to hear they are doing okay. Fred will probably miss those chickens when they go back outside, LOL.

UGH keeping three birds clean and dry in a dog crate is NOT easy.
Any tips?!

Pine shavings or PDZ or both. If you have a tarp or painter’s drop cloth, you can put the crate on the tarp and not have to worry about the mess. You can also tape some cardboard around the bottom part of the crate to keep the shavings in.

How are you feeding and watering them? And how much are they moving around today?

Right now I have puppy pads down, and that isn't working at all. I'll try adding some shavings on top, good idea.

They are moving around ok. I'll take more pictures tonight.
I cut holes in yogurt containers and zip tied them to the sides of the crate. It is working well I think!
