Chirping
I went out to the coop this morning to check on the broody hen and her single chick and there I saw the little chick dead not breathing in the dust bathe. Not sure if she got suffocated under mama while she was bathing or if she got too cold. I took her inside and immediately started warming her up with a heater.
She was not breathing, she was completely limp but not stiff so I knew she wasn’t gone for too long. I began giving her cpr on and off for about 10 minutes. I was just about to give up and Then the twitch of her leg sparked hope that there was still a chance. She slowly started to take breaths and about 10 minutes later this chick was back to breathing normal on her own.
After about 30 minutes since the start she regained consciousness and was very disorientated. I’ve been comforting her for the past few hours. She’s been chirping but is still a little shaky and unbalanced. She won’t waland she gets distressed if I pick her up.
So do you think she will recover? Anything I can or should do? When should I put her back with mama? Is there brain damage from lack of oxygen hence the disorientation?
Any input would be greatly appreciated
her when I first brought her in
recovering right after consciousness
hour or so after disoriented( maybe a seizure?)
She kept looking up and falling over until I held her then she stopped. her now
