Hi! So I have a 12 week old Dominique pullet that will sometimes end up on her back, I never see it happen so I don't know how she ends on her back exactly. But she does have a wing issue and I think she trips on her wing and falls on her back. This is the thread about her wing. -> https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chicks-wing-hanging.1512976/
I'm going on vacation this weekend and I'm worried she fall on her back. I forgot to say that she can't get up. So what happens to a chicken that falls on their back and can't get back up? Will the chicken die of exhaustion of trying to get back up, will they stay there until they die of dehydration or starvation?
