The Dogmother Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Good idea I can't really help with any suggestions for making one I'm afraid; I don't usually bring birds in from the flock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Well, we had one in our bigger broody cage that used to be our Daisy's dog cage in the car, but that cage is too big for the lounge, so she is in a smaller one that we didn't get round to doing a perch for. I just asked hubby if he had anything suitable and he said " does it have to be done now " And I'm thinking, well yes, but I guess tomorrow will be OK.

Luvachicken Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hubby has just gone to the shed to find a perch and I didn't even have to say anything Chloe was not impressed though. I sat her on it, she got off, then pecked it and then snuggled herself back in the corner on the floor where she was Oh well ........

Luvachicken Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Is Sharon any better today? Oooer, you mean Chloe A little bit better I think - she certainly doesn't sound so snotty today. We've managed to use a spare set of rungs from the smaller Omlet house that I have. They are a good fit. Really hoping the sun comes out again tomorrow so she can have another half an hour outside especially as I couldn't manage it for her today. I can't wait to post on here that she is totally better.

Luvachicken Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Sharon!!! Moment of madness/dementia or typing on iPad and talking at same time Don't worry, we all have them. I have just gone to put the washing up gloves in the cupboard where we keep our bread I'm really glad Chloe seems to be getting better. Fingers crossed for a full recovery. I have had everything crossed for ages now. She is still here so that has to be a good thing. Right now she is making up for being left in a dark lounge all afternoon by tucking into her bowl of food, drinking quite a bit of the medicine and has an odd fascination for the grit Funny little thing, she has usually gone to bed by now.

gavclojak Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I was just logging on to ask the same question! X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Not much change really Although just now she had a big drink with the Tylan in it and a little nibble of treats. She hasn't eaten so much today and I'm beginning to think we are fighting a losing battle. Apparently we can also get Mycoplasma - which I found out from my Dad when he asked what she has. He then told me that my Mum had it earlier in the year when she stayed in hospital. My Mum was poorly for a good few weeks so I'm wondering if it's the same for chickens or if I am just prolonging things Feeling quite sad and down about it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Always something to worry about isn't there! You will know when the time comes to make that decision but let's hope she picks up over the next few days. Everything crossed x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I agree with Gavclojak. While she's still eating something and drinking if it was me I'd keep going providing she doesn't seem unhappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippie Chick Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I'm so very sorry to read this, I was really hoping for her to pull round. So sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Thank you for all your support. Every morning she surprised me by still being here. She did perk up quite a bit in the middle of the week especially when she saw I had some wriggly meal worms for her. She had quite a few portions of those and then some treats so I was optimistic about seeing her the next morning a bit more up and about. The next morning though, her other eye was looking watery and she didn't look so well. I asked hubby to book the vets as they are not open when I leave but as I said, she must have died as I walked home from the school I work at as she was still quite warm. Poor little thing, I so really wanted her to get better. I think she just had so much mucous she couldn't shift it and she was still growing her new feathers and I think the moult was so heavy that her body couldn't do both. Sleep tight little Chloe xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Oh goodness I am so very sorry. You literally couldn't have done anymore for her and she fought hard to stay with you. She is now in a better place with all the girls we have loved and lost. Chin up sweetie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
