This chicken has checked everything out!

It is awesome she is up and moving! And normal movements too!!
Did she do any eating of grass or anything?

@21hens-incharge she ate a couple bites of grass.

I have tube fed her three times today. I think she wants a scrambled egg. Do you think I should or just stick to feed now? I offered her tuna and she said no thank you.

Honestly if she were my hen....yes I would give her a scrambled eggs BUT I would add some chick crumble to it. Even if she only accidentally eats a small bit of crumble it is better than nothing.

Sassy she appears to be getting better, but I'm beyond my depth here. Fish and eggs are a short term solution, in the end she really needs a balanced feed. But if she keeps improving keep doing what you're doing. Just know that you're in uncharted territory for me.

Thanks! Me too! I have been giving her feed through a tube, three times today. I have debated on 4, but I think I will weigh her tomorrow and decide. She did eat a few bites of her egg with feed mixed in it just now.
I had to turn her heating pad off a couple times yesterday and today, because she was panting. I am officially leaving it off now, unless she starts shivering again.
Her nails were nubs and now they need trimmed. Her comb is not as floppy this evening, she is standing up and has a perkiness about herself.
Now, if those poops can get back to normal and she will eat feed, I will feel so much better!

Isn’t her beak too long? It seems she chews sideways and her beak clicks a lot.

An update on Miss May...She is more up and about.....kind of. She ate some this morning....kind of.
She is carrying her tail much more upright.

She has a dirty butt. Sanitary trim tomorrow.
It is not looking like sick chicken butt, more like didn't clear the fluff butt.

She will have the weekly health check like several others tonight too. She has landed on the daily check list. Her and Crookie.

Do you have a brick for her to scrape her beak on? A nice big rock works well too.

It looks a bit long but not horribly long.

Glas Miss May is hanging in there. I do have a partial brick that will work.
