Quote: I actually found a dog sitter that would take care of them when I'm on vacation (I got VERY lucky) as for when I get sick I still do it unless I'm very sick. The chick (I still have to name her) with no tongue manages to scoop the food and let it slide down her throat. Poor thing is probably going to need a sweater (until they grow back at least) because she lost all of her feathers from being picked on. I grew up around rescues so I guess I just have a soft spot for the underdogs My bantams go right in with the big girls (and guys) and they're completely fine. My 10 ounce black d'Uccle bantam is best buds with one of my RIR (they were raised together) who is probably bigger than she should be. My Polish (both my standard and my bantam) get their crests at picked at sometimes, but they're is this special ointment (I forgot what its called) you can put on them to prevent that. I'm hoping to post some pictures as soon as the weather clears up.
