Chicken Vomit

I know, two post titles almost the same.

But the content is totally different.

I am posting this one-handed, as my other hand is busy holding a chick inside my shirt against my right breast, hoping to keep her warm.

You see, once my kids were better, I tried to see why my red chick was so small.

And I noticed she vomited everything she ate.  And drank.  But she was always eating and drinking.

So, I did some research, on the world wide web,  and I figured out that she has ‘sour crop ‘, which is basically a yeast infection in her crop.  Which prevents her from digesting anything.

The advice I got was to put organic,”with the mother” apple cider vinegar in her water.  Which I’ve done.

And to feed her probiotic yoghurt, which I have just finished spoon feeding(force feeding) her. 

And now she is cuddled up. keeping warm,  and I will feed her again in a bit. and hope she lives,

And it bothers me that in the “real world” she’s worth 2 bucks.

She”’s worth more than that to me…..

I hope she lives.
