Possible splayed leg chick

[Debbie292d]

She got some food, snuggled her chicken and toppled over then crashed out. She sure was chowing down on food when I got home from getting Poultry Cell.

The way she's laying there like that looks troublesome. I thought she seemed fine by the way she was walking and standing. Hopefully, she'll learn to sleep sitting with her legs under her. Is she continuing making improvements with her coordination otherwise?

The vitamin supplement, if you overdo it, will wind up causing diarrhea. We usually go one day on vitamins, one day of just water, and so on, which helps prevent it.

I agree, it does look troublesome. She has been up and down and all around all day. Just checked on her, she is snuggled under her chicken.


No, she never has been fine. Yes, she is standing. Walking? That's more of a stumble and recovery. I am encouraged to see that she is starting to go straight up and down like a normal chicken. I've seen her so that a few times now.

Little Derpy has somehow gotten to the other side of her chicken this morning. She seems to really like trying to be under it. Wish I could have found something fluffier. She was on the other side of it 20 minutes ago.

I really hope she shows more improvement today. Today she is a week old. I'd like to get her back to the others ASAP.

We are getting some more progress! We havnt named everyone but the 2 in the video have some sort of name. Bob is Bob Zombie. We think Bob is a splash cochin. Bob got the name from the washed out color being zombie skin like and the name Rob Zombie and the Bob likes to inspect the structure of everything constantly pecking walls (Bob the Builder). Bob also has war paint over the eyes. Pretty sure Bob is actually a she though. Wife calls Derpy "Tom" as there is never a moment without peeping (Peeping Tom). Tom (Derpy) is the lighter colored, we think, cochin.

Looks like there were even steps taken and food eaten without falling over (which she did do by the end of the video). Kinda crashed and burned into the food and water after tripping over the food dish. Bob was nice enough to not pick on her as well! Yay! Instantly cold once her splash was done.
