    Update: Hen hasn't walked in almost 6 wks

    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.
