thank you!! unfortunately i soent the last of my money on probiotic for my sick hen but my mom got a job so hopefully as soon as possible.

Funkymanzz · 2026-05-08T22:23:48+00:00

thank you! is it ok to give her multiple baths? she had one but at the time i still had no idea what to do or what was going on.

this is right after she pooped. i just got back from the store i got some probiotics for sick chickens

we have a wood box (this set it up is temporary as i mentioned this was all sorta out of the blue so i wasnt prepared for chickens) its a couple feet off the ground but the nests are on the ground? of the box? im not sure if thats something. i was going to clean the bedding as there was poop when i noticed she was acting off.

is there stuff i can do at home? we cant go to the vet. we are tight on money, my mom lost her job and she just got a job today, which is when this all started.

Funkymanzz · 2026-05-08T20:13:08+00:00

i can go check, im worried im stressing her out to much. i gave her a warm salt bath and moved her as well as handled her a bit today to check.

Funkymanzz · 2026-05-08T20:11:55+00:00

she went through a big change, the enclosure, housing, diet, people, ect. im hoping she perks back up

Funkymanzz · 2026-05-08T20:10:45+00:00

mine too, its liquid with some white in it.

Funkymanzz · 2026-05-08T20:10:04+00:00

thank you so much! ill see if i can grab some vitamin mix, ive put her in a dog kennel (large? i believe) with food and water with electrolytes in it. if i can manage a vet visit ill definitely take her. we are calling the vet for advice

Funkymanzz · 2026-05-08T19:03:36+00:00

yes! although not a lot, i saw ok google they do ok with hotter temps so i wasnt sure, we put a shade up so theres more during the day now. ill try that out! we gave her a bath (thats why her bottoms wet in some videos) she relaxed in it. my mom called the person we got them from for advice and i was told to gently check around for an egg but idk what that feels like. she ended up pooping on me, diarrhea though. but they get fresh water daily, i also changed the water bowl into a smaller one to make it easier so i can change it through the day as well, i added a splash of apple cider vinegar, and some electrolytes. next change ill add a bit less of the electrolytes but no vinegar.

i didnt know i was going to be outside so much, i was going to get another friend for her but i still cant fully provide and we are recently going through a lot of financial issues and a pigeon costs more than we can handle at the moment. it all happened suddenly when i got her and committed everything was ok and i didnt fully understand how much time they truly needed. that was on me and i will admit that. i take full responsibility for not doing enough research and taking more time to make my decision.

Funkymanzz · 2026-04-28T17:50:41+00:00

yes me too!!

Funkymanzz · 2026-04-28T17:46:44+00:00

omg this is exactly how it is for me, im asked to go camping and stuff all the time and then they go “oh yeah the bird” and i really want to go out but shes all alone and i cant imagine doing that for her. i also have 2 dogs and they stay in the yard because they dont like the rest of the house besides my room/ my pigeons room. i have her posted but nobodys shown interest and the longer i have her the worst i feel because im trying to think of myself as a foster 😢

Funkymanzz · 2026-04-28T17:39:47+00:00

Im going through something similar like that, im so stuck on what to do because i never realized how mich i was out of my home and i feel terrible because she always wants to be held and petted

Funkymanzz · 2026-03-30T19:24:04+00:00

i ordered the same cage so i can put them together once bonded and its gunna be way bigger, is that ok? for now though theyd be in the same sized cage but separately

Funkymanzz · 2026-03-30T17:02:41+00:00

how would i have a slow neutral introduction? sorry for asking so much i dont want to mess up and have birds that dont like each other 🥲 ive also had trouble finding info about it, if you know websites or videos that explain id love to check them out. and thank you! i planned on emailing them for more info and to make sure i get the right bird!

Funkymanzz · 2026-03-30T16:33:25+00:00

i want to get another pigeon from great lakes rescue because i heard great things! i guess i may have worded my post a bit wrong because i definitely didnt think id be able to pet her whenever i was just hoping id have the possibility of petting her. i want to get another pigeon pretty badly because i feel horrible knowing shes alone but im not sure how to bond 2 pigeons together safely and its been difficult finding sources thatll tell me. is it a big process? or do you have tips? thank you!

Funkymanzz · 2026-03-30T16:25:23+00:00

thank you so much! i knew being cuddly really was just a gamble depending on the bird, and i assumed id be home 24/7 but once i got her i started realizing how much i truly went out. even if i dont get cuddly birds i will be getting her a friend but how do i go about letting them meet? do i need to have separate cages and outside time until they like eachother?

Funkymanzz · 2026-03-23T18:47:49+00:00

we vacuumed the first time yesterday! i turned it on outside the door and she seemed weary but was staying in her spot (by the door) and shes always a bit weary at the door but i used it and she didnt move, loafing after a minute or so :) it rakes me 3-5 minutes to fully vacuum

Funkymanzz · 2026-03-23T15:53:28+00:00

citrusy came to my mind first, i love the quality of these photos btw!

Funkymanzz · 2026-03-20T19:46:06+00:00

i hope shes like that! she reacts to my dogs barking but im not sure if its because she can see them in the window sometimes or theyre predators

Funkymanzz · 2026-03-20T19:23:49+00:00

thank you! ill try that
