I found my 2 month old polish chick this morning, she had some how got her toe stuck in a ramp I made. Needless to say I feel horrible! She has been eating, drinking. She will stand and scratch her head with the bummed foot, and seems to be in good spirits. I have soaked her foot in empson salt...
Regrettably, we had to put her down. The hatchery we baught her from said this one was not formed properly in the shell. It could not hold its head up,and started to walk backwards and dragging its head on the ground. =( needless to say, it was a sad day at the farm. Thanks everyone for your...
I have a 7 wk old that has always had a droopy look, Today, i went into the coop and noticed his/her head is tucked up under its breast and was walking backwards briefly. When lifting the head it seems as though its stiff or has tension in it. Im not sure what to do. Please help! Thank u!
