Chick spent about an hour outside alone and is shaking and limping! URGENT!!

[Betty1]

Hi I have 4 little 2 day old chicks, being raised by a broody hen. Today, one of them managed to get into the tiny gap between the broody coop and run, and got stuck there. I found him, but his wings are splayed out, he is shaking violently, and he seems to be dragging one leg behind him. I am really worried about him because it was all going so well with them and they are all lovely and healthy and fluffy and I don't want him to die now! please help! should i leave him with his mum and let him warm up, or is there something i can do? because i really don't like not doing anything for him.

Okay not so urgent the little chick is fine now, running around outside with mummy chicken and his brothers and sisters. I panic too much!

 

[gander007]

Always better to panic and ask then to sit and do nothing

 

[Betty1]

I suppose so.

 

[gander007]

So how are the little guys doing now !!!!

 

[Betty1]

They're all good, trying to find homes for them but for some reason people seem more interested in my roosters(not that that's a bad thing!)

 

[gander007]

Good to know everything is going alright with your chickens

Well if you are not having a problem getting rid of the roosters
that sounds like you are having a really nice stroke of luck

I am! I've been trying to get rid of the boys for ages, and then suddenly I sold 2 in 2 days! I still have 2 though

 

[gander007]

Then it sounds like you are just waiting for a couple of more lucky
day's to sell the last two that is if you are not the kind who eats
what you grow

Got these at the feed store for buying feed 3 weeks ago
