She was a fighter.. and I'm finding the sadness hard. I guess you don't live with a chicken in a cage and hand feed it for over a month and not get attached. Thanks everyone! She's surely in a much better place. Running and chasing bugs and eating as many meal worms as she can handle. That's how...

It is with much sadness that I announce our poor Henny Penny passed away. She fought the good fight and we fought the good fight but she died quietly in her sleep early Monday Morning. There was nothing more we could have done. . Two weeks ago she seemed tons better. Her neck was straight and...

It could have been an injury. I'm not sure. The first day we got them (10 RIR and 2 Doms) the shepherd pup knocked the cage off the counter and sent them flying. Soon after that, we noticed the leg so it could be an injury. Truthfully, I didn't feel a pop and I tried the leg back. We were...

I'll keep giving her the turmeric to get the swelling down as much as I can and try to get that tendon back where it needs to be. Otherwise, she's a one legged chicken and may even still be, I guess. Her neck is coming around somewhat but I know it's a long long recovery so we're not out of...

Maybe both legs? The other one doesn't bend backwards but she's still not standing up. It's possible that she's just not going to until she's more recovered but she's pushing an kicking all the time when we feed her. We have to wait till she calms her feet and legs down to set her toes on the...

We're headed out to dinner real quick. She does have one leg (knee) that is swollen but it looks better than it has.. maybe the turmeric is working? She eats it with the poly vi sol. I'll get a photo to you real quick. Thanks

Here she is this morning. Head not tucked..She's still got her legs out behind her but still, looking much better!

Show me a photo of something like that! I'm really out of ideas. She spins in circles laying on her right wing.

How can I tell if fit's a slipped tendon and how could I fix that? She's moving a whole lot more and a sling is just about impossible. She seems to rest well after a nice warm bath so we feed her most of the day and then give her a really nice bath at night and she rests better. She's actually...

Cooked rice might work.. Thanks. I had some left over rice with veggies that I've been giving the healthy girls. I'll give that a try. We're still thinking about a sling for her. I'm thinking a cut off sock to hold her wings to her body (and keep the flappy stuff to an minimum) and then hook...

I agree. With myself, I can't take the aspirin so for inflammation, I take turmeric. It's a miracle for inflammation and has none of the problems for the stomach. I tried turmeric and she hated it. I reasoned that getting the nutrition in her was more important than dealing with pain at the time.

I did give her something for the inflammation. Turmeric. She hated it and refused to eat. I love this chicken more and more because I hate curry foods too!

She's doing well this morning. I've been trying to figure out a sling for that leg but she struggles so much more now. I'm at work during the day and only have a short time in the morning. I'm sorry I'm so clunky with the website and posting. I'm making errors, I know but I'm having trouble...

This is the first day we have seen any sort of improvement on our sick chick. Today she actually picked up her head and looked around. She's fighting our hands as we stand her up to feed her and give her water but when she pecks the feed, she's pecking it with such force that it's flying around...

I will try that real soon! I usually make my own yogurt but haven't in a bit and so the good stuff in the yogurt (the cultures) aren't there. I freeze portions of it to make my breakfast waffles (long long story because I've also had weight loss surgery too) but I will need to make some yogurt...

You're right..I completely forgot about the iron. So none of my multi vitamin will be added since it has a tiny bit of iron in it. I can't take iron either! LOL. But the poly-vi-sol should be enough and add the B complex. I'm grinding up the B and adding it to the crumbles after I've added the...

I did add a multi vitamin just to cover everything that might be missing and I have some B complex. I'll add some.

Ah! Thank you! I was worried about the medicated feed so I will skip that and it puts my mind at ease over it. I will scale back on the pedialyte and make SURE I don't give much of the selenium either. I ground it up and will just put a pinch in for every other day's feeding. Thank you!

Good Afternoon all, I found this thread last night and joined the group on the spot. From doing research here and other places on bing, I'm sure we have a young pullet who has wry neck and it's pretty advanced too. I chalk it up to not knowing a darn thing about chickens. I'm sorry! We...
