So I was going to build a couple hospital cages by follow the plan from JavaFinch web site, I know it will come in handy in the future, they were partially finished. Yesterday I found my Yellow Gouldian hen on the cage bottom, she barely moving with her eyes shut, I picked her up, she was 90% dead. I temporary put her in a bird carrier with a lamp on top for for while, then I was in a hurry to finish one of the hospital cages. I didn't have much time left to make it looks nice, but functional enough to put the bird in. I mixed some 4-in-1, put her mouth in the 4-in-1 water, she drank a little of it, I placed her in the hospital cage with some millet spray, seeds, water, and a half of an egg shell, she was barely alive on the bottom. This morning she was eath millet and then jump on a perch, then I saw her jump to the other perch, so doing better. I changed out the 4-in-1 with some S76. This afternoon when I got home from work, I found a broken egg on the hospital cage floor. She might have eggbound.
10 days ago I separated her 6 healthy juveniles to the outdoor grow out flight, they were about 2 months old, she laid 6 more eggs by the time I separated her younster, I cleaned everything in the cage, she stopped sitting on the eggs, so I placed the eggs under foster Society pair. My yellow hen and mate look normal and healthy till yesterday. It too early to tell, but is much better now. I hope she will recover well, she and her mate are very good parents. This hospital cage save her life.
