I am willing to try anything, but I cannot have a chick that can't roost or has to be "tended to separately". We have goats and horses and the chickens free range in summer

another video ..this time with her moving

So, his chick is one of 4 that hatched. I had to help her out of the shell..... That is never a good sign, but in the past Ive had many who lived happy lives so if they pip but no zip, I help. Anyways, she had spraddle leg. I used vet wrap on day 2 and bound her legs closer together. I did 4-6...

yes, Im sure she's not laying. I think she may be confused, she is acting like a rooster, coming to look for feed when I come, and then clucking loudly to show she's found something good. Just like a rooster. But she was only one of 4 and I know she is a female, although she did not develop...

Those are cool. I bred my speckled Welly to a CLB rooster and ended up with 3 hens. they all lay speckled light olive eggs, but not as speckled as I would've hoped. Next year's maybe

she passed

LOL. Are you kidding me? It sounds like you haven't had chickens for long and think google is the answer to everything.

yes, but I don't have twitter, you tube, nor any other account where I can post videos. she is moving around, holding her wings a little low, very alert, and when she hears the other chickens clucking outside she responds with silent clucking. I can see her making clucking sounds, just cant hear...

here are photos until I figure it out

I can't recall how to do this. can I PM you on this site?

she is very alert

she has her beak open. she is not making any sounds at all.
