Elaine L:
Gordon, the biologist, has been having the two sick chicks treated at a facility near Edmonton, and right now, it looks like they caught the Frounce in time, and the chicks are improving. Now, we are worried about the remaining chick in the nestbox, as he has been treated twice this weekend for mites/bugs, and the nestbox has being cleaned out and the gravel replaced. The parents are now very wary of coming into the nestbox with food. We have not seen a feeding since yesterday, but we realize we could have missed it. Still, we have had many people keeping an eye on this site, and it it worrisome that no one has seen a feeding. If anyone on the Manitoba Forum sees a feeding, could they please report.

Thank you for posting pics of what is going on with the chicks. Those pics with them were sad to look at that I have to skip through most of them. I am glad that they are being taken care of and I hope that they can heal quickly. So sad to hear about the one that had the growth in his throat. I hope that the meds were giving to him in time.
Kinderchick:
So sorry to hear of all of the health issues of your chicks, Elaine & bev. :( Hopefully, with removing them from the nestbox, medical intervention and feeding them, they will slowly begin to heal.
bev.:
I keep going back and looking at all our screen shots and every time the chicks had full crops. They did not look as bad in shots as they did when removed. this is why it was such a shock. I knew something was not quite right but all feedings were so good. The parents are great providers.
Of course if we had known that bigger one was male , but we figured , it was so much bigger and feet were so much bigger , that it was female.
can't keep beating myself up about this. Just happy that they are where they should be right now.
will have to keep clsoe watch on this young one

Yikes, sorry to hear this. Hoping for these little ones as they struggle to heal.
