Nugget update

[Crazyhen95]

Nugget sadly can't walk anymore. She still eats and drinks and puffs up at the dog when he gets too close. Sadly I don't have the money to take her to a vet. I just try to keep her as comfortable as possible. If the is anything I can do to help her please reply. She's very special to me and I want to try to help get better if possible

It really sounds from your other threads that Nugget has a leg bone deformity that got worse as she grew. Those can be common in chickens, and they usually cause the hock tendon to rupture. Sorry that there may not be any treatment, but you can try to enjoy Nugget and make her comfortable. You might try to use a chick chair or sling, or a wheelchair like another Nugget in the picture below. Here are some links about leg deformities to read:
