My hen, Have. Died yesterday. A racoon invaded my backyard when I was asleep and ate all but her head and tail feathers. My rooster, Lux, has gone into shock and cannot stand. I've been working with him, trying everything to make him come back. I have to lower his beak to the water and food to eat and drink.  He's not injured, just in shock. Liek i said, I'm trying everything. Poking his legs and feet with needles, dipping them into cold water, bringing out Ember to annoy him back to reality... To get him to realize his legs. Nothing works. He just sat there while Ember preened him and tried to eat his beak. Any suggestions are sooooo welcome! I don't want to lose another bird!!! ~:Goldy:~ |

oh, i'm sorry, we have chickens, thier kidna dumb birds, i hope he's ok, maybe give it a few days, but chances are if he's not eating, thne he's not gonna make it. That happened to one of my leghorns, Ammareto, though it was a cyote instead of a fox, was still really sad.

My Oma's gonna take Lux to a vet and see what they say. We found out how to forcefeed him and he's been eating on his own ever since, but he still can't stand. ~:Goldy:~ |

I had a VERY strange dream last night. I think it was one of the weirdest I've ever had...It was about an ostrich. Yup not a regular pet bird, an ostrich.

Goldy! how dome i didnt see this thread sooner?  im sorry about Have. my neighbors used to have like 20 chickens and they all got picked off by coyotes....we dont worry about coons here too much. all they have to do is waddle across the street, and they'll most likely get run over....boy is it fun to live next to a blind corner...there are two possums in the middle of the road now. with they're brainsies all splattered across the road, so i see that every time i leave the house.... im glad lux is okay :3 |
