You can also make them out of pipe like this-

OP, I would suggest rimmgin the feathers away from her vent, and the areas that get dirty. Then she wont get poo all over herself, and wont be uncomfortable.

Ps. Can you make her a chicken walker? I think she would be able to use one, that may be a miracle for her.
Heres a how to video-

Oh that’s a great video! I’m going to get onto that.... will post back here!

@Weeg do you mean trimming her feathers?

Yes, sorry about that! I was typing fast and my autocorrect always corrects to weird stuff.
Yes, I would trim the feathers away from her vent and wherever else she usually gets poopy. That will be a more pertinent solution for her gross feather issues. Glad I could help!

I thought so but thought I’d just check
That’s a good idea- I will give her a haircut tomorrow. Thanks for your post

Yes! Time for a trim lol!
Super glad I can help! Hope its helps with your sweet lady! I bet that the walker will work miracles for her!

When the egg actually emerges, they stand almost fully upright.

I watched way too many videos last night of chickens laying eggs. I stand corrected. I haven't seen too many emerge in person. Mostly just the prep before. I would still think she'd be able to adapt to lay if she's otherwise healthy.

This ones for you @Weeg ! thanks for the suggestion. It’s not perfect yet but still modifying... her leg splays out to the side SO much
Also, she only stays in it for 2 minutes before she struggles and flutter-limps out! But it’s a work in progress I guess I should be happy she has enough strength to get herself out of a strange situation haha

Thats perfect! I might find a way to attach her food and water to that, maybe she would be more interested in staying in there. I see the egg issue, I wonder if you can wrap them the same way you would for splay leg so that she will hold her legs right? @Overo Mare @Wyorp Rock do you think wrapping her legs is a good idea?
I think if wrapping works, then once she gets her legs under her she will find it much easier to use the walker. Great job on that build!

Here is how to wrap her legs if you wanted to try it, (I'm no expert though in that area, so I may wait for the experts, but you can try if you want.)
