One eyed cross beak

[Farmgirl283420]

I’m glad she’s doing well! I just don’t understand how she is so cute! She might be the cutest chick I’ve ever seen!

Agreeed!! I’m hoping she gained weight today!!

She isn’t gaining weight? I’m giving 4ml a feeding should I increase the ml?

There is a Crossbeak support group somewhere, either FB or another platform in case you haven't checked that yet. My crossbeak, Blanche, will be 2 in May. She has both eyes in good working order and is always in everyone's business trying to run operations at the barn!

Good advice re: chicken feed mash in a deep dish being available. Also a waterer with a wide enough tray; some are very skinny, hard to get beaks into. I take Blanche to my vet roughly every two months to get her beak gently trimmed with a dremel tool. As Mildred gets older you'll be able to see her beak structure better and to see any changes that may take place that might require some shaping.

I had a Mildred, too. My Dominique hen who was always a bit frail and little, My Little Chicken. Good luck with your Mildred.

I have a few cross beaks they are my favorites the milli I just discovered having it, but none of these chicks need help except a trim.

This one Mildred, she’s not understanding how to eat and drink. I have spent a lot of time helping her.
She has a lot of obstacles to overcome and I hope I can help her gain weight

She gained weight!!!

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

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

Oh no! You did a really good job with her and tried your best. You gave her the best life she could have had even if it was short
