Hey everyone! I have an 8 day old chick in my care who is experiencing neurological issues that prevent them from walking. I believe it's along the lines of crazy chick disease(details in my post history if interested). I was wondering if any of you folks have experience with disabled chickens...

Hi everyone! Newbie chicken mom here…..I adopted a disabled bantam chick several months ago when she was only a 1.5 months old. She is now 8 months old is super sweet and affectionate with a huge personality and has essentially become my “child”, LOL. She was attacked by a hawk when she was...

Hello Everyone! I haven’t started chicken keeping yet but I’m here to learn all I can. My household just moved into a new house last spring with enough space to set up the small urban homestead of my dreams. We call it Peachy Keen Place. This season we are focusing on getting our vegetable...

Hello all, I’m in eastern Oklahoma preparing for 10-15 chickens late next spring. (Gardening zone 7a if that helps any.) I am able to perform the daily care and find some help if needed for deep litter coop clean outs, but I don’t have the physical ability to build a coop due to disability...

Hey there! I acquired a few week old Ayam Cemani chick who has very weak legs and he cannot hold himself upright. He can hold himself up with his heel and his wings but he still wobbles over a lot. His toes still work because if I pick him up and put him in my hand you can feel him trying to...

I took in a disabled chick a couple months ago. He had a slipped tendon that couldn’t be fixed. He can’t walk but he gets around by flinging himself with his good leg and flapping. We’ve tried slings, round donut beds, etc but he hadn’t tolerated anything. He’s the most comfortable making...

I have a bantem adult hen named Peaches that has been injured in the past. We have a large coop and run, with around 12 more hens and one rooster. She was put into the coop too young on accident and was forced outside where she had lodged herself between some logs during a storm and ended up...

Need some advice with this situation as I’m not sure what to do. I have a blind (mostly blind, I found out he can see some light and objects) serama rooster who is two years old. He does not eat on his own. The way I feed him is that I take regular chicken feed, add warm water to it, let it...

Hello all I have taken on a disabled chicken. Long story short, she has an internal growth, golf ball size. Not an egg bound egg, not a tumour. It occurred 2 years ago (March), went away and came back (again in March) and has gone down, but not gone away. 2 Vets have no idea. Antibiotics did...

Actually I haven't started yet. I'm a disabled veteran seeking information on my dream lifestyle. I'm currently seeking training through different agencies. I have mobility issues so I'm looking for stuff I can do in a scooter or wheelchair. I am looking forward to learning about raising...
