But unlike the futile prayers for Prissy to lay an egg, this one is serious! I think something is wrong with my Ruby bird! She's just so lethargic, and unlike her usual sparkly self. Usually, she's very curious and social, and when you come out to see her, she's sure to greet you (even though she may be looking for a hand out). These past couple of days, her reaction has been very slow, she's less social, and she appears to not be extending her head. And, I'm not a doctor, but I think her pupils look dilated.
Poor little bird. She's been getting the same food, and has had plenty of water. And her little sisters are fine. And it's SO sad to see an otherwise charming little bird reduced to this unresponsive creature!
Please send your good vibes and maybe ideas on how to help little Ruby?! Just a note - I have had a conversation with Sandy D. about mixing up hen and chick food to help out the little chicks - we didn't do that. the chicks appear to be thriving, so I just let them be. Maybe I should?
Help!
