sandyhas3chucks Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 thanks everyone xxx They are like our little children aren't they? We chook mummys just know when something is just not right! ... you're so right, I know their personalities, I know who likes what to eat, I know their little foibles and I know straight away when something isn't quite right. Fingers x'd I've spotted it in time and she responds well to the antibiotics, poor little poppet fingers crossed for a speedy recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 How long was your ages Moomin. (for my comparison with blockage Sandy her crop was blocked (not emptying) for about a week, she wasn't interested in food and and what she did eat wasn't getting through. The nasty watery white diarohea (sp!) lasted for well over a month, and during this time she lost condition and I thought she was going to die. She was also moulting But now she's amazing, comb and wattles are reddening up, she's bouncy and full of life and a cheeky mare! And her feathers are coming back - even on her head, she looks like a punk rocker with all the little spikey bits So if you're chicken gets ill all is not lost, they can get better Hope yours is improving Poet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Lots of ((hugs)) to Mariana (and the others too, just in case they're feeling left out ) Of course we know when something's not quite right - we love the little monsters!

Guest Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 just to let you know, she's on her way back to recovery by the looks of it and back to digging Mariana's trenches (she's always been a potholing chicken!) thanks again for all the advice, always helps to have a 2nd opinion (including the vet's!) xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
