Down chick

[BarnyardChaos]

I can't do it, but my husband does with a quick twist of the neck, to dislocate the spine.

You could also do it quickly with a sharp knife.

I just got her today she was shipped Sunday she also has a bone coming out of the skin and idk how it happened, and really at this point idk if I should just put her out of her misery bc I know it hurts her View attachment 3417653

There is bone sticking out of the skin?
If she's not able to eat or drink and is not responsive, then culling her may be the best thing to do.
That decision is up to you though.

This is how I put tiny ones down. The article walks you through it.

I just wanted to say thank you for trying to figure out how to help this little one. Lots of people wouldn’t even try. So sorry you had to go through this.

Was the bone sticking out of the back of the leg and was her leg frozen in that position because I have a baby quail who had a deformed leg with a piece of bone sticking out of the back of his knee and his leg is frozen and won't un bend and I'm frantic trying to find help with what I should do
