Issues with my store bought chick.

[JADe Hatcher]

She wont stand. Just leans yo the side. She used to stand/walk around. But, she is Mostly just falling over to the left now.

Get a towel...put the chick on a towel and get a video from ground level of how she stands.

My phone wont let me take another video.

Can you go to the dollar store and buy a couple rolls of rubber shelf liner?
It looks like this:

If I were you I would remove the shavings completely and just use this shelf liner on the floor for the next week.
One roll should last you a few days changing it daily... at least.


I'm thinking she's messed up her leg by slipping and sliding. And I think the shelf liner Matt will work better for now.

One of her feet seem swollen.

I think the best thing to do is leave it alone and let it heal.

Not good JH, may Gaia see your plight.

Is it possible the chick has had some kind of seizure? The head shaking and now one sided paralysis maybe...? Looks worrying to me but I'm no expert.

No hen. Storey's says some chopped boiled egg yolk and water for struggling chicks.
