Hi Everybody,

Not sure if I phrased the subject right but we yesterday we got a little Polish/Favorelle pullet.

She did not come out of the egg right so her breeder had to help her out and give her some TLC so she survived.

My question is, are there things I can do to help her catch up? Her growth is stunted, she is a little wobbly on her legs, not very well coordinated, slow to identify food and today I noticed some diarheea but I think that might just be the trauma of being in a new place.

Are there some super chicken foods that will help her? She is going to be a companion to my very gentle Easter Egger but I'll be quaranting her for a while first.

Any chicken nurturing hints would be most appreciated.

Did I mention she is totally sweet and even though this is her first day with is and she's very scared when my husband gave her a cuddle she went to sleep!
 
does she have spraddle leg? look it up on google if you want

Thanks!
I think she has a touch of spraddle leg but I don't think there's much I can do as she's 16 weeks old.
Thanks for the scrambled eggs and yoghurt suggestion. I'll do that today.
She is the friendliest chicken I've ever had! It's only day three and she will come up and stand still for a stroke. If I rub her breast she starts to go to sleep!
