Thank you so much everyone! I read this the evening y’all wrote me, right before I went to check on her, so I would know what to do for her for the night.
But when I went out there, she was walking some. Not perfectly, and not as quickly as she used to, and not as far without taking breaks, but it was such an improvement from just earlier that day. She had only been able to barely scoot for a couple of days before. I continued to crate her for the next 2 nights to make sure she didn’t get trampled or picked on when they all went back in the coop at night. But I also gave her time just chilling in the shade of the bushes they love, with her flock during the day, when I can keep an eye on them.
She’s even better today!
Your advice is all great though, and I was ready to do it until I saw how she had regained use of her foot that evening. Hopefully I’ll never need to use any of the advice, but at least I have it now (and maybe it will help others who search with similar problems). And hopefully she will get back to 100 percent soon!
My other chick who was gashed (probably by the rooster’s spurs) is doing really well also! Thankful for the advice on here when I posted on her too! We’ve been using it!
