Help!! My chicken won't stand or walk
She did suffer some spinal cord damage. Nothing broken but it is stretched and curved. We have had her in a hammock for a few days trying to stimulate some leg movement. We aren't getting much.- henzen13

Help!! My chicken won't stand or walk
She was stuck for an unknown amount of time by her head. She broke her right wing and was almost dead when we found her. She is eating and drinking, a little diarrhea but vet gave us tylosin for that. When I pick her up and touch her feet she doesn't react at all. It's like she's paralyzed??- henzen13

Why did this happen?
Hello! I am new to this site and a new chicken mum. Recently a couple of my hens have been exhibiting broody behavior, I have one sitting on a clutch of eggs as I write this, but I have recently found these little eggs out in the run.
