    Duckling I had to help out.

    Good job helping him! I have used a q-tip and warm water to get stuck shells off. Takes awhile but gets it done with getting them to wet. I have also given weak chicks raw egg yolk mixed with water to get them going. Best of luck!

    Chicken with dead leg? Help!

    Sorry for your girl. Maybe a pinched nerve? Maybe rig up a sling so she can still exercise her good leg? My DH made a wheelchair for a hen that broke her leg and it helped her keep her good leg strong.

    Heartbroken

    I'm so heartbroken, my little Mercury passed today. She started having problems laying eggs and nothing I did seemed to help. We would get passed one egg and the next would be worse. This was my biggest fear for her. Yesterday she was great and today gone. I know you guys will understand how...

    Broken leg

    If a vet is not an option you will have a special needs chicken,I have a few and really enjoy them. Maybe just try to keep her as quiet as possible then light exercise until healed. Homemade wheelchair might help.

    Broken leg

    If it is not aligned then it probably won't heal well. Can you move it so its close and set it there with some vet wrap? I had one that broke her leg but it was in line and I just gave her rest in a small cage,but it took a long time to heal.

    Broken leg

    So sorry for your chick! Will she try to move her toes at all,like curl them and straighten them out? I would get her on some paper towels or puppy pads to get her good footing,shavings can be slick. Keep her area small to help keep movement down to a low level. If you can try to feel along the...
