Hi everyone Sallymander had something very sad happen. She had an episode in the coop at night and was attacked by a goose who sleeps there. He showed no previous aggression to any of the chickens. Sally’s entire head was plucked of feathers and badly bruised and bleeding. It was so swollen and...

Thank you! She stayed vertical today lol here she is with her crew. I do hope she’s ok she’s quite funny she talks to me a lot anytime she sees me but doesn’t seem fearful just like she’s saying hi lol.

Thanks 😊. When I treat anyone I think is deficient vitamins I usually give a little mash of the baby bird food, egg yolk, poultry cell, and vitamin e. I’ll double check the poultry cell has the B but I have a huge bottle of complex in case I need to add any in. I’ll keep everyone up to date. She...

Wow thanks this is quite interesting! We almost got fainting goats. A gift from my husband’s sister who passed for her daughter. It never ended up happening but I did a little research into them. We have Nubians now. I will definitely check out the article. That really really is what it reminds...

It could be I haven’t actually witnessed her falling over but since she’s closer now I’m hoping to see how it happens. Ya we were planning on that if another goes. It just so happens every single chicken died on the weekend. We have a wonderful farm vet I can drop them off at but they are...

Ok thanks I’m going to start a proper protocol I haven’t been super consistent with it but I’ll start everyday and then see if she shows improvements.

Def possible and makes sense

The short story is I have a young chicken named Sally who I constantly find passed out on her back. Sometimes she is somewhat dazed and other times she is just looking at me. Has anyone ever had a chicken act this way? It is as if something happens that startles her and she basically plays dead...

He’s completely better it’s amazing! He has a little limp that’s it. But he can run and is just super happy. He even has a little wife he bonded to now. I listed everything I did a few posts back here are some updated photos I just took! I just love him I’m so happy for him!

Hahaha such a wonderful name haha

So RubyRupert is def a Rupert lol I gave him 2 names because I suspected but his comb has gotten big and I’ve heard him do something resembling a crow although it is just a super pathetic random half scream usually lol. Recently one of my new little pullets I hatched, Pippie somehow hurt her leg...

Thank you! I am so proud of her!! It’s such a miracle 🥹

Also here is a few photos of her chair which we just googled and YouTubed the design. As @sunshinemomee said takes so much trial and error I never was able to sew the fabric in the correct position because nothing seemed right so I just would constantly adjust the safety pins.

Hey see my reply approve I’m sorry if little KK didn’t make it but rehab is possible!

I figured I would update for anyone who was following well.. I decided not to cull Ruby Rupert because she just seemed to have so much fight left in her and welllll she is now WALKING! All of a sudden she gained more and more strength and balance. She started to fully stand and now she can walk...

Well Ruby Rupert is still here because she feels like she wants to move so badly so I am going to try a wheelchair I read a Facebook post about a fully lame chicken from a factory who was able to regain movement and many people commented their stories so I’m going to give it a try a bit longer...

It’s so difficult to splint the tiny toes. Tape on both sides to make a shoe was a good method but the tape can’t be slick it has to have some grip so she doesn’t slide around. Cardboard is just so bulky for them when they are tiny

Hi everyone sorry haven’t been back in a bit. Well I did stop with the splints because as someone suggested I felt like it was actually making it more difficult. Unfortunately her legs are very bad they split straight out and there hasn’t been any improvement. I know she cannot have a good life...

Even though no one is replying I’m going to keep updating lol. So I made a mistake last night and left her in her sling but that wasn’t really the issue. She tends to kick her legs out in front especially with the brace and since the temperature dropped a little lower and she or he can’t keep...

Difficult for little frizzle to keep her legs under he or she just puts them straight out when the ankles are bound. I try to adjust position and put her legs folded under her the way they should be but when she moves they jut straight out again. Spending longer periods of time in the sling...
