This is so horrible

I will have to call the vet after school tomorrow which ends at around 4 pm. Let's hope she makes it throught the night. An while I'm at school... Anything I can do do help her while she waits?

What about splinting her legs and giving her some aspirin for pain? You can dissolve at baby aspirin (81 mg) in water and give it to her a few times a day. Or maybe crush and sprinkle on her eggs. I gave my 12 week old a few drops three times a day, so maybe go lighter because she is much smaller. Maybe she's not pooping because the eggs she's eating are mostly digested- like a low residue food.It took my 12 week old, who hurt her leg, about 10 days to stop limping. The first few days she just laid down and let me hold her, although her appetite anddrinking were good. You probably will have to keep her separate until she is stronger.

I did separate her yesterday morning when I found that the roo was bullying her and she got her head stuck in feeder.... I will fill my bottle thing with hot water.... but a towel over it and put it in her bed area... She is doing better though. she attempted to walk to bed area walking somewhat normal... tons of peeping! and wing flapping

I will see how she is doing after school the think on weather to call the vet or not. I really don't know how to make a splint or anything just a chick chair and chick show and hock cushion... And 4 poops since I put her in
