Hello. I am a newly hatched member, and hope to find answers to some questions here (will post in appropriate forums, of course.) I joined because every time I would Google a chicken related question, my best results almost always came from this site!
I am an animal behavior consultant and ran an all species animal rescue for most of a decade, until last year. I don't actually own chickens, but I have had three currently five day old chicks in my care for two days. I'm watching them for a friend because one has special needs and she was afraid to leave him home while she works long hours. I'm not delusional and understand this guy probably will not make it, he seems to have a neurological condition that prevents him from righting himself, but I made a cart for him so he can feed himself and run around in my basement. He is trying hard, so I haven't given up yet. I'm going to try a vet this week to see if we can get a diagnosis, at least, and know if it is a completely lost cause.
Looking forward to being here.
