Emergency - Accidentally Stepped on Head

[cleoandtheflock]

Amazing!
It good she is drinking water and holding her head up

Also does she have a name?

Her name is Clover! She is a 10 week old Black Australorp. She is doing even better this afternoon. I put her with my other quarantine baby, Bones (I'll tell her story in a moment), and as soon as she saw Bones eating, she started gobbling food up and is standing, walking, and drinking on her own! She is extremely uncoordinated, but hopefully that will improve over time.

Bones is my splash Wyandotte pullet who we have decided to keep indoors indefinitely due to cannibalism. It started when they were tiny and some of the other chicks pecked her tail down to the bone. We separate her every time until she heals and within a couple weeks, they do it again. The night before last they pecked a lot of feathers out and ate her whole left buttcheeck down to bone again before I found out, and I've just had enough with the bullying. Clover isn't bothering her and seems to be enjoying the company, so I guess they're roommates for now. Both are just spending lots of time sleeping.

That is so great!

I’m very happy she is eating and has a friend

Maybe they can have their own coop, run & be BFF’s forever.

So happy to read that she is recovering!

Wow, she looks so much better!

That’s so awesome that she’s up and eating! I’m always so afraid I’m going to step on one as it darts around under my feet...

Love that your little pullet is recovering so well. Glad that she has a companion. Eating is a good sign. Hoping for a good recovery.

I'm glad she's doing better. I almost stepped on one of my 10week old girls yesterday. So I know how easy it can happen. If the 2 girls continue to get along maybe you can do like @Sassysouth suggested and build them their own small coop and run.
