    Please help--chicken won't use legs

    Yes, this VOLUNTARY movement has given us a little bit of hope. He has been a seemingly happy bird the whole time...well, as happy as a paralyzed bird could be. We'll just see. We aren't going to give up on him as long as there's progress being made.

    Please help--chicken won't use legs

    Well, my hubby came home today ready to dig a hole. He quietly went out to the garage to see the little guy and then to do the job. He came back in shaking his head, which lead me to believe that he had done it. After some prodding from me about what had just happened, he said that the little...

    Please help--chicken won't use legs

    You know, my husband is very handy, and he actually said he had tried to think of some sort of rig he could come up with to see if the bird could become mobile again. My hubby has been so patient and has believed in him so much, but I think he's losing interest now that we aren't seeing much...

    Please help--chicken won't use legs

    ANy last minute advice? My husband says today is the day. It's been two weeks. THe chicken is eating on his own, but not making any progress with his legs. The toes seem to be "dead." We pinch them or poke them and he doesn't move. A chicken can't just live forever like this, can he? Any...

    Please help--chicken won't use legs

    Well, he's about the same. I've been trying to give him treats that are a little out of reach...trying to make him work for it. My husband thought that he saw his toe move today, but it could have been wishful thinking, too. I did notice when I had him out in the yard that he was shifting his...

    Please help--chicken won't use legs

    Last week I posted a thread about my 3 month old Aracauna rooster that had been jumped on by my 10 pound dog. The dog didn't get him in her mouth...she just wanted to play. At first he was completely paralyzed-wouldn't use his legs at all. He just laid in a box in our garage. He was...

    WHat do I do about lice?

    I think our chicks have lice. What's safe to use? We try to be as organic and natural as possible. We have three small children that have taken quite a liking to the chicks as well and I want to use something that will be as safe for them to be around as well.

    chickens attacked last night

    I know that a hawk will swoop down and get on a chicks back and then peck at the back of it's neck. We had a hawk get 5 of ours. A few of them weren't even bloody. I think they just fell down dead from the impact. If you have a hawk still in the area, I'd get them in and keep them in for...

    dog attack victim

    The garage is right off of our kitchen, and I've been going out about every hour to check on him. I'm not sure if my husband put electrolytes in his water...still waiting to hear back from him at work. His droppings aren't bloody, so that's a good sign.

    dog attack victim

    My husband forgot that our Jack Russell Terrier was still out this morning when he let the chicks out. She jumped on one of our 3 month old Aracauna roosters. She didn't bite him, but he's not really moving a whole lot. We have him in a box in the garage with food and water. He's just kind...
