    Injured Chick Turning Yellow

    Thank you, it’s definitely a sad morning but it is also kind of a relief to have it resolved, even though it’s not the ending I was hoping for. 😔

    Injured Chick Turning Yellow

    It didn’t stand out as being yellowish to me, but actually I checked on her right after I replied to your last message and she seemed to have declined dramatically overnight - it was immediately apparent that she wasn’t going to survive the weekend, likely even the day. She didn’t even open her...

    Injured Chick Turning Yellow

    Thank you so much for replying. That’s kind of what I was thinking about the vet; I really want to do my best for her but I also am just not in a place where I can drop hundreds of dollars on her. She is still pooping normally. It looks exactly like her healthy sisters’ poop and doesn’t have a...

    Injured Chick Turning Yellow

    I called my local vet last week after the incident, and they were pretty dismissive and said they were booked several days out and also don’t see bird patients. They basically told me to keep the wound clean and see what happens, so that’s what I’ve been doing. I don’t think I can get her to a...

    Injured Chick Turning Yellow

    Hello, chicken people. I posted about 5 days ago unsure if it was humane to try to keep my 5 week old pullet alive after having her wing torn off by a predator. I ultimately decided to keep supporting her the best I could, as long as she still seemed to be trying to live (ie eating, talking...

    Not sure if my injured bird is a lost cause

    Does it make sense that she would have a delayed shock reaction though? I’m just puzzled because, for nearly 2 days she was acting so normal.

    Not sure if my injured bird is a lost cause

    The Recovery 911 I’m giving her is a supplement that you mix with the water and it has electrolytes, probiotics, and vitamins :) She’s not a layer, she’s only 5 or 6 weeks old. I’ve been sprinkling her usual Chick Starter on top of the mash. Does she need additional grit, do you think?

    Not sure if my injured bird is a lost cause

    Unless I’m mistaken, FishMox is more regulated as of this year. I was reading about that yesterday. I appreciate the tip tho!

    Not sure if my injured bird is a lost cause

    Thanks for that, I really want to believe she has a chance 🥺 This morning when I picked her up to inspect and clean her wound, she wouldn’t use her legs at all when I went to put her back in the cage. Yesterday I could sort of set her on her feet and she’d walk off, but today she wouldn’t try to...

    So far, no bad smells!

    Not sure if my injured bird is a lost cause

    Thanks for the info! I’ve been doing most of this - I guess my main question is about the seeming loss of strength she’s dealing with. Like is the fact that she can’t stand a sign that infection has set in? When your chicken was injured did she ever seem really weak?

    Not sure if my injured bird is a lost cause

    Hi folks. I’m new to BYC and I’m very happy to have found this community! I wish I had been brought here by better circumstances, but I guess here I am and here we go (this is gonna be a long one, as I want to provide as many details as possible)… Best I can tell, on Thursday night/Friday...

    Pullet wing ripped off but so far okay, any suggestions?

    Thank you so much for your fast response! This gives me hope. My girl’s injury seems to be a pretty clean break as well, her wing kind of just tore off at the joint. The bone doesn’t look broken, just exposed. Shockingly she’s not bleeding much, it’s obviously just scary and concerning to see...

    Pullet wing ripped off but so far okay, any suggestions?

    Hi, my chicken got almost exactly the same injury last night. I’m curious about the exposed bone situation. Did skin grow over it? Is it just…still exposed? Did your friend trim it back?

    Chick wing partially eaten by stray cat

    Hi, just wondering if your chicken survived? Mine got a very similar injury last night and in trying to decide what to do for her.
