I am just going to finish this thread. The little chickie finally laid down on the heat pad and slept there. It woke once and stood up all afternoon but didn’t eat. In the evening it was down and it passed away shortly after. I could tell from the spasm in the legs that he was on his way out...

Overnight the sack hanging got longer. I think he didn’t sleep much because he was standing. This morning I syringed some egg yolk and he got some water with booster. The abdomen is flat now. All yolk has been used up. There is no swelling or water accumulated in it. The sack hanging started...

Oh wow you got lucky. I had a rooster that got into fights and lost both of his eyes. he couldn’t see at all, maybe light and shadows but not enough to know where he was going. He kept getting lost in the forest and couldn’t find food and water and we had to put him down. It was my fabourite...

He is sleeping standing up or leaning against the wall. 😭

It has been cleaned. I believe this is the yolk sack. I can only hope that it will get absorbed again. I don’t know what that protruding long thing is. It is hard and it would not soften with the liquid on it. I separated the chickens but they are still in the brooder so I can keep the...

I have chlorhexidine, colloidal silver and kopper care :0(

I edited the title because of a typo. I didn’t know it got posted twice. Sorry.

This chick was trampled by the hen and almost died at 8 hours old. It is I guess possible that it got injured then. It happened on Friday. I had to resuscitate him. The tissue is not hard. Just large enough to think that I could not push it back. I don’t have bactricin only polysporin but I...

I think carbon dioxide is very cruel and I am surprised a vet would do this. CO2 is the stimulant for breathing, not O2 and the higher the CO2 level, the faster the breathing to get rid of it, the quicker you panik when you hyperventilate when you don’t get O2 in the brain. That’s basically what...

That yellow stuff is yolk and it has dried on the feathers so now it’s rock hard. There is no smell and otherwise it is dry.

This chick hatched on Friday morning so technically it is 3.5 days old. This morning I checked and his butt was clean, no pasty butt. He looked normal and feeling sleepy since he hatched. I just got home in the evening, the first thing I did was checked and now the umbilical area is out...

We have a hen that went broody when the weather warmed up. This is her 3rd time brooding. The first time she went to hide in the forest. I thought she died but my kids saw her feed and then disappear. I found the nest after 5 days and moved it into the house. She didn’t hatch anything and sat...

Here are some pictures if what his foot looked like, and what we got out of the inside of the foot. One more pice is missing because I was cleaning up when I thought to take a picture if it. There was one more bigger piece. The kernel came out in junks.

How did it turn out?

My rooster had bumble feet and he was sitting for almost 2 months. Other than he was unable to walk, he was not lethargic. It dragged out that long because I didn’t know he had bumble foot. He didn’t have the telltale black scab on that foot and it was very swollen. And then we had to evacuate...
