    Chick with broken leg

    Nothing, it doesn’t seem to bother her. 🤷‍♂️ Occasionally her leg slips out in front of her and she struggles to stand back up. Also can’t jump to roost with everyone else 😞

    Chick with broken leg

    I noticed my 8 week old pullet was limping today. Her right leg hyper extends forward, seems like a joint on her thigh is injured. I’m not sure if it’s a deformity or an injury from earlier. She still gets around and eats but is there anything I can do? I’m not sure isolating her will do much...

    Unfortunately our little baby didn’t make it through the night, was really rooting for her.

    Hey y’all, just wanted to give an update. Our little chick is still alive but she seems to have plateaued. She is weak and is eating but not much. Not sure what else I can do for her other than keep her and mama in the warm shed.

    Chick found dead, CPR miracle, will it recover?

    I did mouth to mouth very gently and pumped her chest with a finger. Force too much air into her lungs and you could kill such a small bird. Also press too hard u can squish her to death. I did it on and off for about 10 minutes. Once I saw her starting to take some gasps every 30 seconds or so...

    Update: she started to eat again, motor function is getting a lot better. I might put her and momma in a pet cage to monitor overnight. 🤞

    Any tips on what to do with the broody hen? Am I just gonna have to take over and raise her?

    Chick found dead, CPR miracle, will it recover?

    I went out to the coop this morning to check on the broody hen and her single chick and there I saw the little chick dead not breathing in the dust bathe. Not sure if she got suffocated under mama while she was bathing or if she got too cold. I took her inside and immediately started warming her...

    Thank you for the help, so is the ivermectin pointless? Should I even follow up with it
