1 footed chicken

[Beaupeep1311]

Hey everyone,
I need some help. I have a disabled chicken her name is Peggy-Sue, she had a run in with a raccoon and lost the ability to use 1 of her legs. Now I somehow managed to nurse her back to health along side of her strong will and resilience. I want to give her the life she deserves. Can someone provide me with ideas for a roosting are for her? She is not yet trying to fly, she does hop around while flapping her wings.. I don’t want her to be to high off the ground in case she doesn’t stick the landing with her 1 foot…
Every idea is appreciated thank you,

Several years ago I had a girl that was lame in one leg. The others in the flock pestered her badly so I ended up providing her with her own little coop (ground level and no roost) and run. She was next to the flock so they could all see each other, but she couldn't get pecked.

eta: We lived in FL at the time so with the warm weather and situated away from the wind, she was cozy.

Thank you, I took her in she was my brother's chicken he had quiet the flock and I didn't want to risk putting her back in with them. I got her two chicks, so hopefully when they grow, they won't know the difference.

That will be interesting to find out how the chicks view her since they'll be growing up alongside your girl. Very nice of you to take her in.

Keep us posted!

Thank you. I had them separated as I was afraid that she might be aggressive towards them during her healing process, also because she hadn't laid her first egg yet. But believe it or not, the chicks managed to find their way to her; they sleep side by side every night. Almost like their emotional support chicks. I will be back with updates. Thanks a million for your input.
