Chicken was trapped under rooster bars

[MysteryChicken]

Silkies do seem to suffer a lot from vitamin deficiencies. I use Rooster Booster to add to a gallon of water.

Only had one case of Vitamin Deficiency in only one of my Silkies, I've been raising them for years.

Silkies are smaller birds typically, what are the breeds of your other birds?

I’ve lots of breeds but the ones she is in a coup with are all her silkie siblings (or at least hatched on same day, may not be related lol).

Glad to hear she's doing better!

Since she's not being welcomed back with open arms, you might bring one or two of her siblings to the indoor brooder to keep her company. As they age, you can do meet-and-greets among the indoor chicks, the outdoor chicks, and the adults during afternoon outdoor free-range time (if that's an option).

Since she's been away from the clutch of chicks, she's seen as a newcomer and a threat, though she was part of that group to start with. Sadly, that's just the way it goes with chickens... :-(

Ah thanks, so even though her silkie siblings are now much bigger than her (I don’t know why) you think might work bringing one of them in with her? Ok good idea I’ll try that and then reintroduce them hopefully when she’s even better and a bit bigger…
