Hi,
I am not exactly sure what is wrong with it and have posted the full story on the emergencies/diseases page...... The chicken is now almost 6 wks old is very small, compared to the others and very unsteady on its feet, eats slowly, then nods off and hasn't been thriving. Its feet/legs seem weak and it spends a lot of time sitting. Everyday it comes in the house for extra feeding and it seems to be getting stronger. I am doing little leg exercises with it (worth a try) It doesn't resist and will lay on its side and sleep in my hand - which I realize is not normal behavior and all of it is concerning.
Tonight my partner noted, how much better it was even since yesterday, as it walked around for most of the time I had it in the feeding box, locating food. Yesterday it mostly sat. I have considered having it put down, as I'm not sure how bright its future will be, however it is a determined wee thing and whilst its will is strong I/we will keep doing what we are doing. Any advice/ ideas are welcomed.
