So I'm freaking out a bit. One of my chickens (about 3 years old) got her too stuck in a small out door round table we have. Well she knocked the table over trying to free her self. I heard her and found her right away but she was turned off for the fall and being stuck. It took me a minute to free her. She had a few small cuts (not cuts but like mild abrasions) so I sprayed so blue kote on her foot to help protect it. When i tried to set her down to evaulate her stand and wall she escaped me and is not using that for at all (simialar to slip tendon in a chick). So e gathered her back up after a short chase checked her over a second time, no clear injury other then the abrasions on her foot, and seperated her into one of the mini pens with food and water.
Of course I'm hoping it's just strained and with a few days of rest she will be back to normal. But I'm freaking out about the possiblities as we have an Orpington rooster that is nearly double the size of most of the hens and 3 guinea hens that share the coop, so if she has a permanent injury she may need to be separated permanently to avoid further damage.
But daddy says I can get 12 chicks to add to my flock...
