I think applause is warranted... That's a lot of work.

I hope she continues to improve.

Thanks. It is a lot of work and her Improvement is slow and up and down, but lately she seems to want to be sitting up and sort of watching me do things so I take her around so she doesn't just sit with her head down. but her neck is still pretty twisted up. I wonder if she's going to be like this for the rest of her life or if it will untangle at some point. It's just so strange the way her neck is all curled up like an S

It's very hard to say. It depends on the individual bird and well they respond to everything. It's really good if they can get well because as you know...when you work so long with them...you get really attached to them. And they look to you for everything.

Here she is watching me work. She's doing better the only problem is this she is getting stronger she thinks that she can do things and then she tries and she can't and when I pick her up she doesn't want me to put her down so she like sort of Claws and climbs all over me and that gets to be a bit much.

She looks very nice sitting in her basket...and she's such a beautiful color!! I hope her neck can straighten out, even a bit.

I have lost track of this thread lately, and I am so glad that she has such a patient and loving owner to help her out. She seems like a real sweetie. I am hoping for the best for her.

Hi, has anyone ever done this with a chicken before?

I found a good way to get the Vitamin E into the chicken. I bought the one that says Vitamin E in "prelacaps" with Selenium. It's easy to make a small incision into the the perlecap with something sharp. I squeeze the oily stuff into the open end of a syringe. Then I cook some elbow macaroni. I then inject the brown stuff into one end of the pasta until it comes out the other end. My sick chicken ate them up without any struggling.
