Well I will keep you all posted… ugh…thanks for the advice!

my poor girl…

I made a sling, it was a good idea.. at least she is upright! :) just wondering how long to give her to recover?

I can’t see a break and I am feeding her baby feed as well as grapes, and hard cooked eggs and I tried crumbled shell and oyster shell… she is eating good… and just seemingly in pain if I mess with her, if I leave her alone she seems fine…except for the obvious..

anyone???

one leg out behind, pupils appear regular,round, she is eating and drinking, no walking one leg forward, one leg back at first she was trying to stand now not..iris brown she looks wet she she just had a bath and a blow dry Her foot on the right is curled under eating drinking pooping just not...

Just to say thanks for all the support, He made it and is going great! 100 percent healed

At first she was trying to stand on it. now she just lays there. I put her in a smaller box to limit the movement. The right leg her toes are curled under and she won't straighten them The other leg she keeps behind her. I have been doing warm water therapy (baths with range of motion) but...

Whitey butt, (his name) is sick with a second respiratory infection! He was the one who was attacked by an animal, and head was "scalped" then met the new girls that were seperated that seemed fine (yes for almost a month seperated on the other side of the yard for fear that they were sick.)...

Sorry I work 12 hr days... Yes he is still alive only to be sick with a respiratory condition caught by chickens purchased from ppl off craigs list.. he is back living in my sun room on Amoxicillin doing better (he was gurgling...) was afraid I was going to loose him...we bought 5 chickens for...

It's hard to say... looks clean though and moist...I went shopping and bought Silvadine (otc) and more saline, as well as triple antibiotic... so the combo hopefully will expedite things. I am just thankful that you guys responded.. I will heath your warning, but if you look at the one piece...

Thanks again for replying! If you didn't I would be going it alone I am shocked that of all the people who have seen this post noone else has chimed in. It is a very unwelcoming feeling. It is a very stressful situation and was hoping for support. I feel bad even asking you one other...

We are a week out, and there is some signs of healing and the wound is clean but moist... using peroxide with saline mix now to clean, and triple antiboitic ointment. He is eating and drinking acv in food with water mixed and hard boiled eggs, shell, fruit etc... he loves the attention but...

Thank you!! I really was thinking that if he made it through the first night and as long as we could keep infection at bay we would be fine... I read how chickens were resilient and that they can recover from injuries, but am horrified...(even being a nurse I tell you...) I just needed...
