So sad to report....My special chicken passed away on Tuesday... I came home from work and Chicken little wasn't acting well. He had been having a bit more trouble with his lags the past week. He had hurt a toe that I had to bandage up and it just made getting around more difficult. I was...

He/she can get to the water and food. it is just so much work, that I make sure I help a couple times a day to be sure it gets enough and he/she is always so thirsty when I do. So much smaller than its brooder mates and yet starting to get a tummy YAY! It's a pure bred Australorp but very tiny!

My baby with the bad leg/feet having a drink.

Chicken Little is almost 6 weeks old now. Seems to be doing well. WE finally got a better cage set up. It's a wire dog crate with the tray under the bottom. This was CL can stay dryer while moving about on it's tummy. the bottom was lined with 1/4 " hardware cloth, above the tray to...

This chick was in the egg over a day after it pipped and I finally "helped" it. Chicken little has never stood on it's legs. It tried splints and tape and everything I...

One leg wont come forward. I have tried so many splints and nothing helped, just made it more miserable for the bird. I finally gave up. So this little one has one leg that just sticks out in back. the toes seem ok, but the leg wont go forward. Then his other foot has curled toes and I...

My special chick is not doing well. It is almost 4 weeks ols but less than half the size of the others. It seems to have more anomalies every day. I though it was just because it walks different due to it's missformed legs. Now i am not sure. It seems to eat and drink well. Just takes it so...

This gives me hope. I have an 11 day old Australorp with bad legs. One leg ( right one) just sticks out in back. i tried to help just after hatch, but it made life too hard on the bird. the right leg would just pull the left one off balance and it would fall. If i tried standing it in a cup it...
