Do chickens "pass out"???

Has she gotten any better since she was dropped? She may just need some time to rest, I'm not sure what you can do for her other than keep an eye on her, and keep her brooder mates from knocking her around too much.

Try not to worry too much, chicks are tougher than they look. I had one leap off the bathroom counter on me, I thought for sure she was a goner, but the fall didn't even phase her.

Hope she makes a full recovery!

 

I opened the brooder box last night to take out a chick and another one did the kamakazie jump from the top box, about a 5' drop. She hit the concrete cloor and started running around the brooder looking for a way to get back to her hatch mates. They're tougher then your think, they can take a licking and keep on ticking.

 

Did she make it through the night? How is she doing?

 

I'm sure I was dubbed a,"Big Old Meany" by some of our neighbor children. They come and visit the chicks on the way home from the school bus. I let them hand feed them some meal worms. The kids got so excited about that. Then they asked if they could hold them. I said not yet, but when they get older you can. Oh, the bottom lip popped out and a bit of pouting. They went home kicking pebbles. Oh well. The next day and everyday after that they came back to see if the chicks have grown enough to hold yet. I hold off on treats until the kids get there so they can do that. So I guess the aren't to mad at the mean old man. But I'm scare that they will hurt the little buggers, I will hold true to my promise and let them hold them. I'm just gonna wait until they put on some weight.
I hope your little one is feeling better. I know they are tough little buggers. If the chick fails, please tell the little girl that the chick is fine. Something similar happened to me when I was a kid and it still hurts to think about it.
