I don’t want my chicken to die :( can’t use legs

[Kijkej]

She is starting to move her legs. But I just found a dead chicken of her brood. This one was a black copper marans.

Pictures? Sounds like possibly wry neck.

The pictures I see of wry neck look much worse than this but here is a picture. I know it looks like she is just turning her head but this is how it always is. The second picture I put her on the other side and you can see she can’t bend her neck enough to lay it down.

It can take anywhere between a few weeks to a month, or so depending on the severity to cure it.

Hello! Chicken is now able to move legs and stand up but only if I keep her from falling. She either falls forward or to the side. Do you know if I should be doing anything to help her learn to walk again? Picture showing her standing while I give her a hand and a swing I put her in.

That's progress. Keep it up. If you aren't already giving her some vitamin E with it it won't hurt. It'll help with nerves.

I give this with treatment on occasion since it helps with circulation.
