Good job helping him! I have used a q-tip and warm water to get stuck shells off. Takes awhile but gets it done with getting them to wet. I have also given weak chicks raw egg yolk mixed with water to get them going. Best of luck!

Sorry for your girl. Maybe a pinched nerve? Maybe rig up a sling so she can still exercise her good leg? My DH made a wheelchair for a hen that broke her leg and it helped her keep her good leg strong.

:eek:What an egg! Hope Odette continues to improve.

Hi,I agree cassie,I think he would have gone down faster if it was the pan. StinkyAcres, He is still regurgitating and only coughs when its so much he has trouble getting it back down. He has improved the last couple of days. Not so bad this morning and eating some hay,gave him probios and he...

Hi All, Got a problem with a 7 yr old goat,hoping for some ideas. I will try to keep this as short as I can. Beginning of December a neighbor brought me a aluminum foil baking pan that Flokie was chewing on,a piece a little bigger than a dorito was missing. Kept a close eye on him and he...

Yup,the little piggie is eating good!:lau

Wow! Great job sewing that up! Maggots need air to survive,so I clean,wash,dry and put the antibiotic ointment so thick nothing can live under it! But I have never dealt with a wound like that. Best of luck!

Thanks everyone, You guys are the best.

SO sorry! I totally understand. I lost one today that was my baby. :hitI keep telling myself that I gave her the best life I could. Sounds like you did the same for your girl. Still hurts. :hugs

I'm so heartbroken, my little Mercury passed today. She started having problems laying eggs and nothing I did seemed to help. We would get passed one egg and the next would be worse. This was my biggest fear for her. Yesterday she was great and today gone. I know you guys will understand how...

:flBest of luck to her, she is so pretty!

If a vet is not an option you will have a special needs chicken,I have a few and really enjoy them. Maybe just try to keep her as quiet as possible then light exercise until healed. Homemade wheelchair might help.

If it is not aligned then it probably won't heal well. Can you move it so its close and set it there with some vet wrap? I had one that broke her leg but it was in line and I just gave her rest in a small cage,but it took a long time to heal.

:weeSounds like the hens are getting down to business! I only have 6 hens but 3 are older so 3 eggs a day makes me happy! My silkie hasn't laid in a long time and thats getting me worried but she is acting fine. Big surprise this week is Mercury! Two weeks from a year old and she laid her first...

So sorry for your chick! Will she try to move her toes at all,like curl them and straighten them out? I would get her on some paper towels or puppy pads to get her good footing,shavings can be slick. Keep her area small to help keep movement down to a low level. If you can try to feel along the...

:welcomeLinda sounds like a sweet heart! Maybe a wheelchair would help her balance and walk on her own. I think one could be made fairly easy with some pvc pipe and rollers with a sling seat. Some pics of her would help.

:hugsSo sorry for your loss. Sounds like you gave her a great life.

:hugsSo sorry your going through this! Crappy neighbors drive me nuts.:rantI understand your rant but don't have any advise to give you. I would absolutely not get rid of my birds when I am within the law. Maybe print out the laws regarding chickens and mail it to him.;) With the laws concerning...

:hugspoor girl! She could have pulled pretty hard to get loose,do you see any greenish bruising? hopefully its just really sore.

:hugsI think you are doing a wonderful job with him. He doesn't seem to be in to much distress. The exercise in the bath is great for him,both physically and mentally. :flHoping for a full recovery!
