    Chick pecked to skull

    Um! Well unfortunate update everyone. I just replied to someone saying how I’m considering putting her down because I don’t know what her future looks like, and then I came out to the shed and she’s unfortunately passed. She’s in a position that makes me think she was sitting under the heat...

    Chick pecked to skull

    Yeah, that’s what I’ve been thinking about. Because she is drinking, peeping, looking around and reacting when I come into the shed to see her. But at the same time, she keeps leaning and then falling backwards, and google has said that that’s a symptom of brain damage. And I’m not sure what...

    Chick pecked to skull

    Yeah pretty watery, but it’s more like one poop with the white part, which I know is the “pee”, and then there’s one spot that’s just white.

    This is the best photo I can get of her away from the lamp. When I pick her up she kind of tucks her head in.

    Chick pecked to skull

    Update: She’s made it through the night, and then some! She is still very lethargic but is peeping a bit more and is a lot more resistant to me touching her beak to open it to put water in her with a syringe. I just can’t really get food in her, but I might have to wait a bit before she feels...

    Yes, I’ll get up and make sure she’s doing well! I’ll give some updates tomorrow if she’s made it or not.

    Chick pecked to skull

    Some said that since her skull looks to be intact that she can hopefully get through it. I’m hoping she will, but I know that maybe we got to her too late, or it was just too severe. Holding out hope, and I’m going to care for her, but I won’t be surprised if she doesn’t make it. It’s a very...

    Chick pecked to skull

    Okay! Thank you all for replying so quickly, it was very stressful but you all have helped chill me out about this a little bit :,) I think we’re gonna see if she makes it through the night. She was in the cold before we found her and it’s been hours since we brought her in the warm and she’s...

    Chick pecked to skull

    I’m really concerned about those two sharp looking tendrils on the sides of her head. When she would drink water they would move while she moved her beak.

    Ah, ok! Then I’ll do what you suggested originally.

    I hope this is a bit better- I’m trying not to bother her so much by turning her head

    I’ve been giving her “Rooster Booster” which I stand by. We had a chick a few years ago who was super lethargic and sleepy when she was younger. We put rooster booster in the water and in a few days she was just as active as the other chicks.

    Chick pecked to skull

    No, she’s just a normal barred rock. I’m not sure if it’s the brain or just muscle and stuff? I should’ve gotten a better picture, but i didn’t want to mess with her to much. The picture is more the back of her head, on the top you can very obviously see the skull. She’s drinking water from a...

    Chick pecked to skull

    Here’s a picture of her, I’m gonna try and give her some water now. She’s moved around a bit, but just won’t open her eyes. She’s peeped a little too, but is overall very quiet and lethargic.

    Chick pecked to skull

    My (a little over) one month old chick got pecked to the skull by our older hen. We lost 3/4 of our chickens to raccoons and we got some chicks for our last remaining hen. At first when we introduced them when they were old enough, she pecked them a bit, but over time she’s been bullying one...
