She fully recovered, but a neighbor’s dog got her and Widow 😢😢😢 The kids and I cried.

Blondie is still here! She's been staying in the bathroom at night and the pen during the day. Honestly, I'm ready for her to move out, lol. She has started to jump out of the bathtub, and I'm tired of cleaning out the bathroom every morning, plus she laid 2 eggs this week!! I take the eggs as a...

2 week update: Tomorrow will be 2 weeks! Here’s a 15 sec video of Blondie to see her progress :) She’s been going out to her pen every day. I’ll let her out if I’m outside with her, like in the video. She still can’t walk great, but she doesn’t stumble as much. She loves being outside though...

Thank you for checking in!!! She’s still doing good! :thumbsup We built a little moveable pen earlier this year, so we’ve been putting her in it the past few days and leaving her outside from about noon to sun down. She’s still not able to fully stand and walk, but when she’s outside she...

We thought the same thing so my husband nailed it shut!!! 😂

Thank you everyone for checking in and the advice about her crop!! I can’t believe it’s been one week today since we found her!!! We did have a scare with her crop for that one day, but it seems fine now. That next morning it hadn’t fully emptied, so I massaged throughout the day. She was still...

Blondie is still here :thumbsup She perked up a lot yesterday. She’s trying to stand and scratch, but isn’t quite able to yet. I’ve decided to hold off on the sling and PT since she seems to be making the effort on her own. I agree that she’s probably has atrophy. I started giving her chick feed...

Day 2: She’s still with us!!! Someone asked about her name. It’s Blondie :) I bought all the electrolytes yesterday, lol (Save-a-chick, Poultry Cell, and Nutri Drench). I gave her .5 ml each of the poultry cell & Nutra drench with a syringe yesterday. She was able to hold up her head on her own...

Update: She’s made it through the night! I got up 2x in the night to give her more liquid, and she seemed to have more energy this morning. She was lifting her head by herself to drink. I put some chicken feed in the electrolyte water until it turned to mush and tried giving that to her. She...

I tried giving her pedialyte, but she didn’t seem to like it. So I’ve continued the water with the sugar/salt/baking soda mixture.

We saw some feathers and chicken poop where the leak was, and then I started to look around and found her. We thought she was dead at first bc the way she was laying, but when we got up on her we could see the tiniest bit of movement. I still can’t believe it!

I’m amazed too! Funny you mention a leak bc that’s why we went down there, smh. Our vinyl plank floor was coming up and we discovered a leak under it! We went down there to see where it was coming from and found her. Side note, it was the air conditioner vent leaking.

Thank you so much for the detailed advice! I will definitely call a vet tomorrow in the AM!

Thank you! I will!
