Hi all, my chicken Jojo fell off of my dad's lap yesterday and landed on her back. She just turned a year old. This morning she's not moving much, not eating and generally acting like she feels badly. She also closes her eyes and flinches when it's bright. we think it's a concussion. We're treating with selenium, hydro hen, vitamins and TLC so far and have isolated her in a bin in a dark, quiet room. She hates being picked up and always kicks, but today she didn't and that's how we know it's serious. Is there anything else we can do?
 
O no, poor chicken! Your dad must feel so bad!
I would put her apart in a quite warm darkish area with food and water.
Is the vet an option?
She’s currently in a quarantine 50-gallon tote in my parents’ bathroom, it has one covered window so it’s pretty dark and it’s quiet and warm and she has water, hydro hen and food right now. she’s also got some scrambled egg. We might take her to the vet if she doesn’t improve, we didn’t take her already because we didn’t think there was much they could do. She’s showing signs of improving already since this morning, she’s standing up and looking around now.
