The sneezing has stopped! Azula has gained seven ounces already as well! I mixed 50/50 medicated chick feed to flock raiser and added a couple handfuls of dried mealworms

Nope and no unfortunately. I do think it's because she is ill and having her first moult right now. Both of those must be putting a strain on her little body. I haven't seen anything in their feces though. But I know it's not always visible

Thank you! They are free fed. She's just choosing not to eat as much. I have been giving her raw egg and fresh k*lled insects for protein after learning she's underweight. I just wanted to make sure the keel is actually a way to tell and I wasn't going to make them obese

The vet said Azula's keel is prominent and that she's underweight. But I've heard chickens don't usually carry fat on their keels? What do you think?

Both showed good improvement today so I let them back outside for the day

Yes I was thinking the same but I need them to finish the two month regime of the medicated chick feed

So I was right. They have a respiratory infection. Had their second dose of Doxycycline today and haven't noticed much improvement yet. Azula is apparently underweight so I'm hand feeding her raw egg yolk and will be getting fresh k*lled feeder insects as well

They have a mild respiratory infection they are seeing the vet for tomorrow so they are inside basking under a growlight today

Sorry long time no post! Both babies are fully vaccinated! They are doing so well! I am considering getting a third since this is going to well, but I want it to be an intake to my rescue that I decide to keep

Thank you! They love the sun!

The girls are enjoying their second day of being outside! Today it will be for the majority of the day. Also their first day eating proper chop like birds!

Azula just tidbitted! I was tapping the ground like I usually do to announce treats. Azula runs over, and starts doing that sound they make to announce food!

Yes but I am only allowed up to three small livestock currently including poultry. I don't want to rehome her but if it ends up making her life better than I will. Why don't I get another pullet? I need to keep a space open to help any birds I can as a small rescue

Oh yes! Azula loves flight training! And I'm mostly worried about them as adults. I really would love to just keep them together but if Azula is harassing Ty Lee with excessive breeding then I can't really do that. I would probably have to do rotations with them, keeping them seperate at times

Thank you! I really hope Azula doesn't harass Ty Lee though in the future

Gave up on diaper training for now. She started really hating them and couldn't go longer than a minute without pulling at it in annoyance. In other news! Starting to suspect Azula is a roo! Feathers are more narrow than Ty Lee's and she does a lot of pecking order stuff (flying at Ty Lee or...

I only did that because after a couple minutes she didn't really mind it that much. She was busy sun bathing Lol

Thank you! Got the idea from chicken Tiktok Lol. Figured the younger it starts the better. She only had it on about forty minutes this time

Today Azula is trying her first training diaper! Sock diaper with a lot of extra fabric taken away due to her love for flapping. She is preening it and herself a lot since it's new. This will only be when she is out of the brooder with Ty Lee. Ty Lee still needs to grow a tail first Lol

The girls both ate tiny pieces of lettuce and lettuce sprouts today! So proud!
