Hi everyone!
I have a chicken named Eggany. I have the worst luck with chickens. She is about 4 months old. She flew about a week ago and landed sideways with her whole body on the chicken ramp. I have kept her inside in a secluded area with food and water. She eats and drinks and tries to stand on her own, but with no success. She can stretch her leg backwards and fully extend it, but can't walk on it. She is able to bend her hock joint and use that as support. When she tries to walk on it, its like her leg stays straight and she tumbles over like she is drunk ( face down and falls over ). I can't see a break anywhere, and when I feel her, there is no clear sign of injury; she doesn't make a sound or peck me or any reaction for that matter. Is there something I can do or that I am missing somewhere to help her?
Thank you in advance,
sincerely, a girl who doesn't want to lose her chicken.
