To the mansion (where the big girls can see & hear them, but not hurt them) - Look at the nosy buggers looking in:

I lost Ranga tonight (the middle Marans chick). She ran up to me when I got home from work, ate a few mealy worms (like a guts) but I noticed she was wheezy and stretching her neck out when breathing.... I brought her inside and gave her a few droppers of oxymav direct to her beak (she was swallowing). Then she had a pick at a boiled egg, but she had some sort of fit and passed out & stopped breathing.... I got her out of the carrier to try to open her airway, but her heart stopped. :cry:

Poor bubba. This is the second Marans girl I've lost at about the 14 week mark. I've got a 17 week-old and 12 week-old left. Fingers crossed these two make it. So sad to lose a bird when I don't know how to help it!

Sorry to read of your loss :cry:

May she rest in peace.

Good luck with the Marans, I've heard that they can be sensitive.
