Sorry about your little guy . Good news on the other one, though! If he's drinking on his own, that's a very good sign. I hope the rest pull through.

So sorry about losing one. Sounds like the 2nd one is a fighter. (Kudos to your "mommy" skills.)

Flappy Bird. Looking a little different than he did in post #100.

This guy doesn't have a name yet, but we're probably going to keep him/her just because he's so different. For one thing, he's about half the size of the other ones, but he is all spunk and attitude. He'll just run right across the top of all the other ones to get to the food.

I can't believe it, but I think the sick guy is going to make it. He's running around fine now.
A little bummed about the other one, but he went downhill so fast there was nothing I could even do.

Fluffy butt looks like he's wearing a little tuxedo. Nice work, Mama!

Glad to hear the sickly one is up and about, and improving! Good work, MPL! They're all just adorable! My veterinarian neighbors are out of town until the end of the week. When they get back, I'll find out if they know anything about raisin' li'l chicks!

BTW, all the other chicks thought the hard boiled egg crumbles was the most amazing stuff ever. Is that the birdie equivalent of, like... eating placenta?

There is a bed and breakfast we go to that has a ton of chickens and they ask that the guests feed the chickens all of their scraps and I felt so bad about feeding them the eggs. Your explanation makes so much more sense. I don't know why I didn't think of that.

My kids are getting so big! The only reason they stay in the pool now is because they like it there.

Yes. I think we're going to have to look at moving them to their interim home here pretty soon. Like maybe even tonight.
