One eyed cross beak

[Chey1214]

I took this baby home from a chain store for a shot at life she was in the back.

She has one eye and cross beak.

I have been bringing her to the water every couple hours to show her where it is…

Haven’t yet seen her eat but I have it layed out on the ground so she can see it easier.

In the mean time I am syringe feeding raw egg yolk at her pace carelly….

Should I give her sugar water? she has electrolytes in current water.

Any other advice greatly appreciated!

Her name is Mildred

Dont take offense to this but someone wasnt doing QC. that bird shoulda never left the plant. Double deformed? Yea u got a LONG road ahead.

I know it’s why I took her

She died between 5 and 7 she didn’t make it under the heat. She was doing so well, ugh…I tried and learned something in the process

I will tube feed her two times a day and I put out some mash, I check to make sure she’s not lost lol idk I’m trying she really is cute

Today you can’t see the numbers…
Before feeding 1.05
After feeding 1.20

Why is she SO CUTE? She’s legitimately the cutest chick I’ve ever seen

Agreed, when I went walking into the big chain store for their sick birds I didn’t think I would walk out with her. I really really hope she thrives!

She gained weight!!!

She went from 1.05oz to 1.15oz!!! Small victories!!!

I'm rooting for Mildred!

Caught her drinking on her own and trying to scoop up food. I blended down the food (like I do for my freshly hatched bantams) maybe this will help her.

About to tube feed right now

Edit pic is a mess I have food everywhere in hopes she eats!!

I think you are doing what you can for her.

I'd definitely offer wet mash in a dish for her as @AinaWGSD suggested, it will be easier for her to pick up than dry crumbles.

I wish you the best.
