My husband threw the tooth away! I knew he should have kept it but was too late once I had finished dealing with the chicken and asked him where it was.. they are locked away each night so could have happened just before but she could walk a few steps at first but now she won’t and just falls...
Update:
So she is still alive eating and drinking well talking and alert etc she still can’t walk she can stand for short periods then sit back down she has tried walking but stumbles and has to steady herself with the right wing.. when picked up her legs move normally they are not limp and she...
She has stopped laying since I bought her in very unsteady and sort of falls back onto her bum she is still eating and drinking and talking and yes left leg and left wing although she can still move the leg? I don’t know what to do for the best she doesn’t seem in any pain and is loving all the...
Hi 2 days ago I went to lock the chickens away at night and one of the girls was on the floor looked like she had fallen off the perch and was on her back kicking her legs trying to get back the right way up.. I turned her back over and she just sat there on the floor
I decided to bring her in...
Just to let you all know I have had 3 eggs hatch today!! Didn’t think it was ever going to happen as they were late aswel a 4th pipping, movement from the 5th but nothing from the other 3 I will keep waiting can’t believe they have been kept alive from being in a box with a heat pad!!
The one I was worried about has hatched came home to check on it and it was just popping out!! Another has a big hole and can see the beak seems to be panting a bit hope it’s ok hopefully just all the hard work!

Thanks I did try that but they just got to a gap where there were no eggs and laid there think they are well and truly over it lol- the eggs are still alive at least for now with a heat pad so all I can do now is hope but I’m not feeling 2 hopeful!
Yea mine has been a bit like that the last few days but always got back on but seems they have properly given up now refused to sit on them all night and have been out all day I have them on a heat mat and checked and can see movement now in 7 out of 9 eggs I also realised it’s day 17 today not...
Soooo I have had 2 broody chickens sort of sharing eggs 1 of them has been getting off the last few days but the other has been looking after them yesterday they were acting a bit odd and today when I went to the coop they had left all the eggs and were laying the other side away from them and...
