[CHICKENS-101] My Modern Game chick!

 

Hi,

             I went to pick up a couple of turkey poults and of course, ended up coming home with two new chicks.  One is a blue Modern Game and the other is a Polish.  I would be so ecstatic if the MG didn’t have a problem.

 

            It looks like it’s little beak got squished at the base where it meets the face.  Like a pinch……and it is causing the top part of beak to point upwards……hmmm, hard to describe this without a photo. 

 

            Anyway, I don’t know if this chick is going to survive this injury/congenital defect…….whatever it is.  It seems to gasp for air…….but it is eating and drinking and hopping into the feed dish and pooping……….so, maybe I will be wrong.  I hope so.  The Polish came along with it to keep it company. 

 

            He has more and I think if this little one doesn’t make it, he’ll make good and let me have another….I hope so, anyway.  In the meantime, we are just keeping our fingers crossed.
