I'm a bad mommy!! Injured chickend please help!!

Shes been away from the others for about a week now. I have broody boxes, I put her in one of those. I think i might keep her inside for a few days so i can watch her better. She seems pretty skinny in comparison to the rest. We lost part of our flock earlier this year (it was her "sisters") so the only ones left are her, 1 banty (same age) and then 4 New Hampshire Reds (these are only 6 months old). So it is very possible they could be picking on her.

well best thing is give her some scrambled eggs do you have oyster shell?
you can mix that in even a bit of broccoli even banana water melon or cantelope
even a bit of baby rice in it

 

[leahcim823]

OK thanks i do have oyster shell. I have to get some fruit for her. We currently only have apples, celery and carrots!!

 

[pennyJo1960]

leave the celery out the others would be fine

I made a sling for her does this look okay?
I'm noticing her hurt leg is shaking. Is there something I can do for the pain??

 

[pennyJo1960]

I know aspirin can be used but do not recall the dosing
as I did not work with avian in my practice
tell was it shaking before the splint?

 

[pennyJo1960]

ok 4 to 5 regular Aspirin to a gallon of water

 

[leahcim823]

I haven't splinted it. I'm not really sure how, I just did the sling.. I can't feel a break any where, so I don't know where to begin.

 

[pennyJo1960]

you did fine with your sling for it
sorry had to get a few things done
