Just wanted to update that our chicken is doing great. She is now getting up/down on the coop and outside perches independently, coming out in the morning on her own, and is loving life grazing with the other girls! Her poops are starting to look regular and she seems so much happier. Thank you...
Thank you....after an injury can it take a while to lay again? I used the dog kennel some today (and we have had tons of rain!!!) and I did see her eat some feed in there but overall you can tell she has lost some weight. I have given her some tuna and cheese the last two days but are there some...
Here was her most recent so at least it had a little more substance.....after eating a little this morning and grazing
She is also now getting up on the perch by herself but doesn't like the others in her "space"
So my chicken is definitely walking better (I will attach a video below) and she has been eating a lot of greens when in the yard but her poop is still quite runny....she ate a little feed this morning and has definitely been drinking more. Can it take a little time when recovering for poops to...

I let them all out of the run this morning and I am surprised by how she is getting herself to a variety of places. She is...
Thank you. We have put a larger tote in the kennel that she starts out in by herself before the others come out to have time to eat/drink but she seems to enjoy perching on the side of it. Thankfully the other hens don't seem to bother her.
Going to work on scraping out the mold this morning...
Thank you. I was just looking up the peritonitis info tonight. She doesn't seem overly bloated at this point.....
Someone asked me if we had mushrooms in the yard and my son and I were just talking about a few we had seen. She said they may be toxic if the chicken happened to eat them. I have...
Thanks for the suggestion. She came out of the run on her own tonight with the others whereas the past two days she has stayed. She seemed to enjoy eating some leaves :)
She did feel warm to the touch on her underside....I assume that can be associated with illness ?!
Thanks again
Thank you so much for the response. My husband got the chicks at 2 days old from Tractor Supply so I am not sure on the vaccination. I plan to ask him tonight although he may not know the answer.
I have been wondering about the moldy part as it was quite rainy last week......
I will have to...
