Pinched nerve-healing

[reese967]

I want to thank everybody for all their suggestions and help experiences. A lot of them are why I believe she is doing much better today.

We have still been babying her we have her beside two of our breeders and this morning my husband walk down to this…
now I’m wondering what point do I introduce her back to the hatchlings she was with I don’t want to do it too soon I want to make sure she’s healed enough I was thinking of adding one of the smaller more calm birds from her hatch at some point, so she’s not alone anymore, what are your thoughts?

I went and hunted down your two other threads on this pullet so I and others can find the precursor information to fully comprehend this third thread. Do you maybe see how keeping one thread on the subject would be more helpful to the readers?

For me, the age of the pullet is the crucial bit of information. Since she began life with the others and hasn't been missing in action all that long, I would take a couple of days and gradually reintroduce her to them.

Begin with putting her with them but keep her protected. If you have a way to rig a temporary, or better, a permanent "jail" as we call it, she can remain safe while getting reacquainted.

Depending on the reaction of the others, let her out with them after a couple of hours to see how it goes. If they're all getting along, then no need for further confinement. If this pullet runs away from the others or they peck her beyond the first pecks of greeting, then she needs more time in the protective enclosure.

For such a young one, this won't take long to get them all back together.

I’m sorry I’m not really sure how this all works. I really didn’t know how to add to the thread other than to reply to someone that asked the question. We started putting her outside near our home in a fenced in area so she could start exercising a little more and get some grass, sun, dust bath time, and she did really well. She was enjoying it a lot so yesterday I went out and finally let the other seven chicks out of their fenced in area with our other bigger hens. They did OK of course there’s some pecking order going on, and I put Miss GG in the coop and in the fenced in area to get her use to it. She did very well there too so I put in one of the other chicks she was hatched with and again a little pecking, from GG this time. I only left the other one in there for a little bit did the same thing today only I have left the other hen in there with her all day they seem to be getting along every time I check on them miss GG is doing very well. I am so very happy and proud of her will to recover.
She said thank you everyone

Thank you! She spent all day outside with the other hen. This evening we let all the other ones in one at a time to see how they’d interact. Seemed pretty good. She was happy. When I went to leave she followed me and wanted back out. Today was a big day she’s still healing so mama brought her back in tomorrow I’ll do the same just a bit more I don’t want her to over do it.

She’s doing great!! a little bit of a limp, she keeps it a little calm but she’s not afraid to stand up for herself.
