HELP. Chicken in distress!

[Thebossbaby]

Ok, and I do have zip ties so... the only thing is how is she going to get to it if she can't hardly move? She litteraly can't take 2 steps before she tumbled over sideways and roles onto her belly. Should I put her head right at it when I put her in? Or can she even reach up to get it or is she smart enough?

Ok, if she is that bad, you need to make her a chicken sling similar to the photo I posted earlier on page 1 I think. You can do that in your cage rather than a plastic box by tying the 4 corners of the piece of fabric (an old t shirt works well) to the bars of the cage you are using (you can secure them with the zip ties rather than knotting them) so that it makes like a trampoline and then cut a slit for each leg to go through and another hole where her vent is, for poop to drop through so she sits in it like a baby walker. That will keep her upright and you can then either zip tie the pots of food and water to the bars near to her head or cut a small gash in the fabric in front of her and push the pots of food/water through the slash in the fabric so that she can reach. I will see if I can find some examples of what you are aiming for as a visual prompt.

Sadly she died recently after a few months of being awesome of internal bleeding I believe caused by Egg Peritonitis. She just got no breaks in life, miss her terribly.

Now the only thing is, how is a chickens sling going to help? Wouldn't that actually damage her side she would no longer have to try to walk? I think when I take her out she won't be able to walk

I'll check on her here in a bit, I'm making pancakes right now, I'll take pics if I can

Guys, it didn't work and I'm getting kinda ticked. It took me 15 minutes to build this thin and 30 to get all the supplies. Did I just waste 45 minutes?

The holes look to far apart from each other to look good. I think you need to scrap that piece of cloth, get a piece make it wider so it supports her better and cut the holes closer together.
