I'm new, just started 3 months ago, I have a sick chicken

[egpeters]

So, my nephew picked up one of the hens and it now seems hurt. Feet and legs fine, seems to be a wing or back issue? I have babied the hen and placed it in the coop tonight. Do they bounce back? Saw one post that the guy feed a half of aspirin..... Thanks all

She may bounce back after a good night's rest. They often do. I would see how she gets around in the morning. If nothing is broken or impeding her normal functions, i wouldn't worry too much.

Hi there,

and welcome to BYC!

You can give half of a baby asprin twice a day if the bird is in pain. See how she is in the morning and if there is something you feel is an emergency, post in that section....

Great to have you aboard and enjoy BYC!

Hope she bounces back!

Welcome to BYC! A wing can probably be fixed. A back... I'm not so sure. I guess it would depend where it's located.
