What’s wrong with my Diva

What do you feed?

I would continue the B complex for a couple of weeks along with a balanced diet. Can you try to work with her to get her walking, possibly with a chicken sling? A tank top tee shirt or grocery bag might be fashioned into a walker. Here are some examples below, and you can make a simple one. Hold her for short periods in her sling to strengthen her legs and try walking her. I’m glad that she is standing, and hopefully, she will get a little better.

That is great to hear. Let us know how she progresses.

She continues getting stronger, walking, eating. I’m taking her outside today to see how she fares..

Is your Kalmbach feed an all flock feed or a layer feed? Do you put crushed oyster shell out for extra calcium? That might be an issue with her egg shells and her walking. Glad that she is now walking.

Layer feed. I’m happy to treport that she has recovered successfully. She’s with the others now and has reestablished herself in the pecking order hence the “Diva” name.

Diva is in the top middle… thank you for all the good advice I received. The steps I took: separated her, cleaned her up, kept her inside my house for 6 days supplementing with complex vitamin b and electrolytes. I let her visit her other ladies on the 6th day but had her sleep inside. Yesterday Saturday she spent all day out and also slept inside. Today she is out and will stay o out. And to think I almost culled her when I found her. I did not want her to suffer. I’m glad my husband questioned my request for him to do it…
