    carcass is terrifying my flock

    Mine use to go bonkers for the crickets in my yard. They would follow me around as I lifted things up to expose them

    We have a ton of feed soaked in water with extra nutrients added. We let it sit for a day or two and feed them. She loves that stuff. She’s picking at it right now which I’ll take as a good sign.

    I posted an update in the original post. I can feel where her bone is broken. She didn’t fight me in the wrap but she is only taking water from my hand. She won’t bend down to get it herself. I’m trying to clean up everything from last night…she needs a bath too.

    Thank you so much! I took a little bit of all the splint things I’ve been sent or seen and modified to her needs. It’s broken just at her shoulder joint. She’s lost feathers so I used gauze on tape and wrapped the wing twice before going around her body to hold it steady. She is doing better...

    I gave her some electrolytes and some fermented wet and dry food. She has towels and is in our bathtub at the moment. She hasn’t moved an inch so I had to move her to make sure she wasn’t sitting in her droppings. She’s making small noises and moving her head a bit. I have a lot of medical...

    She offered to pay for new chickens but to me it’s not the point, they were all my first flock and I had such a special relationship with all of them. I was too upset to talk to her again yet but she told my husband this.

It’s broken right at the joint to her body. She wasn’t in pain when I was examining her but she was still in shock I...
