    Chicken badly pecked and won’t eat or drink

    We had a vet trip last week and he was pretty certain it was a brain injury being so young and the type of chicken.

    Chicken badly pecked and won’t eat or drink

    Passed away 😪 or we had to put them out their misery. No improvement and they were getting weaker and weaker. Very upset. Buried today with a little wooden plaque and a garden chicken ornament. Thanks for all your kind and helpful comments. X

    Chicken badly pecked and won’t eat or drink

    Small victory (I think) - when I went to parents evenings, I left her in the plastic bed and when I got back she had moved into the middle of the pen. Thank you all for your advice and kind words. Hopefully things just improve. If anyone has any suggestions on any more liquid diets I can give...

    Chicken badly pecked and won’t eat or drink

    I’m getting really concerned now. Still no positive update, it’s day 4. Not eating by herself or drinking. Standing and can move feet but not walking. Do I put the hen out their misery? Wait a little longer? She’s still inside and it’s been 4 days now. Should I return her to the run (nothing...

    Chicken badly pecked and won’t eat or drink

    Still not eating, drinking or walking. Feet are moving to reposition. I’ve been syringing egg yolk with some water, I’ve mushed up pellets with some warm water and egg yolk and made it runny enough to go into a syringe. Also water with a tsp of sugar, pinch of salt and baking soda. Drinking and...

    Chicken badly pecked and won’t eat or drink

    Could anyone advise me if I could put her into an enclosed run today for a little bit to see our other hens for an hour or so or is it too soon? Happened Friday 7pm. Monday morning now. I thought maybe some normal environment might encourage movement? It’s safe and a big run. Other hens can’t...

    Chicken badly pecked and won’t eat or drink

    Thank you so much for your reply! I’ll definitely try the egg yolk today. This is her set up currently in my kitchen. I cover the whole thing when it starts to get dark. She’s getting up from lying position onto her feet. I’m so worried she has brain damage. It was squishy flesh and no bone or...

    Chicken badly pecked and won’t eat or drink

    Thank you for your reply! I’m really worried about neurological damage. She will take steps to move into a position but won’t take actual steps forward. If put on her side, she’ll get back to her feet and stand up straight. I’m in the UK, I’ll definitely get what I can today vitamin wise. I’ve...

    Chicken badly pecked and won’t eat or drink

    Thank you so much for your reply! I made up some eggs last night but not eating it yet. I place her down in a certain position and she’s turned herself round. If I put her on her side, she’ll put herself on her feet and will stand up straight. Just not taking steps. I’ve left out chicken food...

    Okay thank you for that! His name is Romeo but I got told today they think he’s a girl so now I have no idea what it is. I always thought a cockerel. He isn’t crowing yet so that made me wonder.

    Thank you! The nutrient drops have all added vitamins in it but I’ll see what else I can get. I’ve watched her walk around the bed she’s in to her comfy but won't walk.
