    Chicken that can work wings and everything else can’t walk.

    Hi! Thank you for your response! We did not buy her, she was hatched off here on 6 August 2023, making her five months old! She is a Turken-Silkie-Showgirl! Since about this week, she has had a baby chick chirp still! So cute. Her mom took care of her well until she was two or three months, I...

    Chicken that can work wings and everything else can’t walk.

    This is about my hen, whom I posted an older thread about: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/please-help-my-silkie-showgirl-she-can%E2%80%99t-walk.1606556/ Chicken that can work wings and everything else can’t walk. She tries to pull herself upward to stand, and is successful in that...

    Yes! All Silkies do! It is strange quality they have.

    Yes! She is in a sling now! She started to get pressure sores, so how long should she stay in the sling? We hand feed her and give her water, and still give her eggs and vitamins.

    Here’s some updates on her! She is not getting worse, which is a good thing! There are tiny improvements, so I think maybe the vitamins are working (Poultry Cell Vitamins). Her wings are not paralysed and her legs aren’t either. She walks around on her hocks and mostly backwards. To-day I was...

    Please help my Silkie Showgirl. She can’t walk.

    She tried standing recently, and it was a little success!! She was able to balance herself on her feet for a few seconds. Although for a short time and not fully off of the ground, it was the first time she has really tried something like that since she couldn’t walk! She seems to be doing some...

    Please help my Silkie Showgirl. She can’t walk.

    I will! To-day, her walking/sitting seems somewhat better. She is still wobbling around and balancing through her wings, but the way she sits is different—in a good way. She seems more upright than laying on her side through her balanced wings. She’s getting around better, but, like I said, the...

    Here’s a video of her trying to walk to-day. It hasn’t gotten any better. :/ She keeps using her wings as balance.

    Yes, it looks like that! We have chick starter grower. Do we use that?

    Hi! She is four months old, being born in August. She still has a baby chick chirp. We feed them 6 Grain Poultry Scratch feed. We plan to give her eggs to-day. We will get some vitamins. Thank you! I will look into a sling for her. I think that will be helpful!

    Please help my Silkie Showgirl. She can’t walk.

    Hi! My hen/rooster (I am unsure of the gender since she is only four months old, but it may be a hen), who is a Silkie-Turken-Showgirl, has been acting rather strange. When I opened up the chickens, I found her laying down in the middle of the coop. She usually sleeps on a roost with another...

    Day old baby chick might have a broken leg?

    Edit (29 October 2023): The baby chick is doing much better! He can walk now, and is chirping at a normal rate! I think his leg has completely healed. I don’t know exactly what caused it, but it could have been the broody hen!
