Need help sick Chicken

Can you get a full body shot? Does she stand up okay?
The fact that she's still eating on her own is fantastic.

When she stands up she tries to run to my lap so the best I could do was laying down

Awww what a sweetiepie! At this point, I bet her injury was preventing her from getting to adequate feed, or unable to eat enough if she did make it to the food? Let us know if the feeding helps her energy! I am worried about that hip...is the joint in place? For an injury that old, it shouldn't be this painful still. It's been 2 weeks. If she still is hesitating to put weight on it and the site feels warm, she may have a fracture or dislocation...something's wrong, poor baby. Can you feel both hips and note any difference? I am seconding giving her baby aspirin, it may help her pain.
EDIT after seeing picture: Ooh yeah her comb looks anemic. Poor babygirl.

The aspirin will also help reduce inflammation, so consider it not just a pain reliever but medicine.

It's great she's eating on her own and has an active attitude. She's going to be okay.

She definitely has the determination and I'm very happy for that. I just wish she'd gain some weight back. She's so skinny and I feel like that's why she' still so weak. She's a cuddle baby. She'd rather be in your arms or lap then anywhere else

How much is she eating? A chicken that has reached maturity usually consumes a half a cup of feed per day. If she isn't able to eat that amount, if the amount is much less, you might consider tube feeding.

It isn't difficult or risky and it's a good way to get some extra nourishment into her.

Yes she does look anemic. We have been feeding her spinach today to help but maybe it'll take a few days. She's getting the electrolyte and nutridrench as well since friday and the color is improving

She's 9/10 weeks old. She's got food right in front of her, shes really been eating today. Plus she's had some plain Greek yogurt, oatmeal, boiled egg yolk and spinach as well. She' been eating very good since we wormed her.

No need to tube feed her. She will put the weight back on. Be patient.
