Help! One got underfoot!

[jendodd79]

Thank you all for all of your help!

I'm going to sleep with it, but my husband is going to think I'm crazy - he thought I should put it back in the brooder.

I made it a mush of crumbles, yogurt and water and it's been taking little bites periodically. And it had a big poop on me. I've felt it's legs and wings and I don't feel any breaks, but it's really resistant to me manipulating the right one back under it's body (It's splayed out in front). When it wakes up it flaps it's wings and arches it's head back.

Other than being asleep, it doesn't seem like it is in pain. It just wakes up briefly and passes out again. Wish us luck for the night

Would giving aspirin make it worse if it was bleeding internally?

You are correct.

How's your chick this morning?

hoping all went well last night.

It made it through the night! A little more alert this morning, and stronger. It's just having trouble getting it's right leg back under itself so it can't stand. but it's trying!

PS - I guess it's coming to work with me today!

awwww. that's great you can take her to work with you. A real blessing. You are doing the best you can for her. Keep my fingers crossed as well. If she has made it through the night, then you can rule out a lot of things that could have been wrong.

I'm so happy for you! You might want to do a google search for "chicken sling".

Good for her and you, she must be a very strong willed little bird
