:(Well its all over she had a rough night last night and seemed even more off balance this morning. My husband and I talked about it and after three weeks there has been no improvement so we put her down today very emotional and tiring. She was a beautiful sweet Cochin but I tried everything...
Well she started slowing down over a few days, I can't say what happened whether she just got sick or maybe one of my ducks jumped her? Tonight is the first time in three weeks where she is not wide awake I don't think she is doing well. She's not eating and I gave her some electolytes but she...
:)Thanks for the pictures it's very creative. I am going to try that tomorrow night, it makes perfect since. I did leg exercises with her tonight she is pretty receptive to the whole thing. She is eating and drinking I just keep waiting for her to stand up. My husband says the reason she...
I have a Cochin living inside the house for two weeks with the same issue. She eats and drink, can move her legs but can't stand or walk. Trying everything, but she just won't stand. I like your chicken chair how did you put that together? Hopefully our birds will come out of this.
Thank you for your responses I am going to give it more time she is a sweet bird. I gave her some vit. B what would be a good protein to provide her with? What is one more in the house 4 dogs, 2 kids, and hubby one more resident adds to the fun.
Believe it or not at night I have been putting her on a towel and moving her legs back ang forth, I also hold her up so she can put some weight on her legs I am trying to get her to move her legs as much as she can. I was thinking one of my ducks got on her hurting her back, but I don't know...
I posted last week because my 2yr old Cochin can't walk but stilll appears healthy. She can move her legs but she can't get her right leg under her and does not want to put pressure on the other. Have given her a warm water soak, treated her for mites and I don't know what else to do. If I...
Well she is a two year old Cochin and she lives with 6 hens the seventh is in a screened in pen at night because the others pick on her . This Cochin is the largest of my hens. I have 4 ducks 2 Pekins, 2 Muscovies. Live in NH so winter has started to make the birds stir crazy. In addition to...
It has been seven days today and she is still not walking. Treated her for mites today and gave her electrolites not sure whats next. She is eating rice, grapes ,pellets and veggies so she is not weak in that department. In ten years I have never had this happen.Help:(
My hen is about two years old. She is a large cochin always unassuming. I do have four large ducks living with my hens and now I am wondering if one of them got ruff with her causing some kind of spinal injury. Everyday when I get home from work I expect to see her on the decline, but it has...
I have a Cochin that is going through the same thing. She can't stand and when she wants to move she is using her wings. Her feet are moving, but she can't use them to stand. She is eating and drinking which is encouraging, but this has been going on for a week I just hope she comes out of...
Started last week she started sitting in the corner of the coop and not getting up. Brought her in the house she is eating well grapes, layer pellets bananas and she is drinking water and some milk. She looks healthy she just can't walk. She can move her feet but she will not grip my finger...
Happy to be here. Have kept chickens and ducks for eleven years and I still love it. Always trying to improve our coop rebuilding this year. Live in NH and it is about 20 degrees and the birds are going stir crazy. Need the spring to hurry up!
