It isn't very much at all, maybe a 1/2" sticking out, but she is absolutely limp, her legs won't carry her at all. She has always laid, in my opinion, really large green eggs for her rather small size, never had any issues that I have noticed, just a happy go lucky member of my pecker...

I just found my Ameraucana in the coop in a corner, I thought she was just relaxing but when I got close she tried to get away, but she couldn't. Her legs wont carry her at all, and she just flops around on the ground. After I picked her up I noticed she had what appears to be prolapsing going...

Weird, I mean that she pulls on it when tugged yet it folds the wrong way :(. That "hammock" is a great way for her to rest her bad leg/joint, just make sure she keeps off of that leg by having it high enough off the ground. Can you see in pic how I constructed it? Super simple with fabric in...

I don't know if it is broken, when Roo broke his it was just limp and he would not recoil back if it got pulled, it could be dislocated though :(. I would separate her from the rest of the hens, put her in a small kennel or box, keep her warm and feed her high protein foods, and let her rest...

Zyklonbetty I will dig through my pics and see if I can find more. Vids Blues leg healed and he lived on as if nothing happened. I did keep in that sling for about 5-6 weeks until he would act as if he could put walking pressure on both legs. Hope it works out for you lil fowl :( Petra

As you can tell in my previous pic he is very skinny. He is the one straight ahead standing behind a crested runner duck I will go into town tomorrow and get him some vitamins and see how it goes. Thank you for your swift response

This the li'l guy

Hi there folks! We have 27 li'l three-four week old ducklings of various breeds, we know we have several runner ducks, one itty bitty mallard, a few blue Swedish, pekings, and for the rest we are stumped. One of them is so skinny compared to any other duckling, he seems fine, eats and is...

Ok, will get some tomorrow..just fed her some soaked oatmeal with nutritional yeast on it, i.e very vitamin B rich...she ate with gusto, but then had a seizure, pretty bad one, her head jerked back and then rolled completely under her stomach for a few seconds...the entire time I fed her...

Ok, I googled and looked here...seems to be conflicting ideas but overall vitamin deficiency is the number one thing...will start her on vitamin E tomorrow, I have none at home tonight, the gelcap kind, broken and mixed into food or what? What else can I do? The leg, or her acting like it is...

Hi there, I have 14 baby pullets, all 3-4 weeks old, various breeds. Monday morning when I went to let them out of the coop this one pullet, couldn't walk on her left leg..she kept on falling over driving her face straight into the dirt...of course I though she broke her leg ( I have had...

So happy to hear of everyones successes..my Ginger is in the brooder now..one with the big'uns..so tiny...he is almost three days younger so it shows..

just remember the veins are in the membrane...that part scares me.... I know me too..we took it very very slow..left it alone if it looked like bleeding would occur..progressed as it calmed down.. The best is if you never have to intervene, but sometimes we do and its best to take it slow.

Hi there! ginger is adorable!!! So far all my chicks are black! Still cute, but I love her light color! Anyway, how did you know she was shrinkwrapping? I have my suspicions, on a chick who pipped forever ago! Just thought I might get a little insight from you. Thanks!! kaitlyn I guess by...
