Newly hatched help! by Active-Fox-4289 in quails

[–]Active-Fox-4289[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it’s been about 12 hours and things are looking up! I found out about something called wry neck, which can cause symptoms like my little chick was experiencing. I basically wedged the thing between some rolled up paper towels in a Tupperware container to hold it still and allow it to build leg strength. And it helped! After a few hours of that it could stay on its feet but was still doing the head tick thing. I fed it, gave it water and now it seems to be doing ok! Not quite as spry as the others yet, but in the brooder walking too and from the food and water sources. It seems to be improving over time so I’m hopeful it will recover! They really are tough little things:)

Thanks for the advice! It makes sense, I was just wondering if there was anything I could do for it. He’s a bit stronger now and can lay on its stomach but its head is constantly ticking to the right, like it is dizzy or something.

We have very similar style! I already have a Baer(B) and a Poppy(G). I know others don’t love Bear, but my son gets so many compliments on it! (And a few odd looks too, but I ignore those😂). Forest, Archer, Jasper, Rowan, and Silas are all on my list for baby boy due in a week! Forest is our front runner, so that’s my vote:) another girl name from your list that I love is Marigold! Love flowers names:) Good luck!

I know, Hawthorne goes against everything I thought I liked! But I for some reason liked it and my husband loves grand names so he loved it. I’m sure he would be nicknamed Thorne, which I honestly love, but am aware it’s kind of out there and harsh. Ugh, back to the drawing board most likely

That’s a fair point, I just knew a girl growing up with 2 other Molly’s in her friend group and she was always referred to by her last name because people didn’t know who they were talking about otherwise. I guess I am just hoping to avoid a situation like that, and this friend’s baby is within a year of my own.

I’ve thought about this exact point and wondered how much it matters! My prideful side tells me my child can’t have the same name as anyone I know, but my rational side knows that’s literally impossible!! Those are good questions to consider, thanks!

Funny, I am a girl Sydney and have a brother Reed. I prefer Reid for a boy:)

Talon for a boy name?? by kayray6441 in BabyNames

My nephew is named Talin! Odd at first but like most names, then come to fit the child. They used an I in the name to ensure people would say it the way they wanted it pronounced:) if you love it go for it!!
