Hen is no longer walking, please help

[slordaz]

Perfect, I've created quite the shopping list.

I do have blue kote already.

The hen is currently in my bathroom which is 70°+.

Any wounds you find, clean with a saline rinse and then apply the triple antibiotic, Blue kote doesn't need to be applied until she goes back outside to any that are not completely healed yet.
Terramycin ointment is also a good thing to have on hand as it can be used for eye injuries.

By the way It's amazing all the work your doing for these Chickens so they do have a good life.

Thats what we are here for, help each other out for our feathered friends while learning. I probably drove the eggsperts crazy when I first started lol but one day we can help someone else with the knowledge we've gained from them too.

Some people are very pushy just remember you as the flock master have to decide whats gonna work for you and your flock as there are always various ways to do things.

Thanks! I will make a run to tractor supply and grab both OS and the Nutri Drench. Appreciate the help!

You're very welcome but I'm afraid I didn't do much to resolve your issue.

Do keep us posted and let us know how she does.

Can you post a picture of her poop? Maybe put white paper towels under her to get a good pic.

This is her poop. Unfortunately since her legs aren't working, she's been defecating where she is laying. Essentially this is the fecal matter removed from her feathers next to what appears to be liquid. In my mind, the puppy patch she is laying on is super absorbent and could be potentially pulling moisture out of the feces.

You may want to make her a chicken sling or chair to get her up and in front of food and water. Here is a good link with pictures:
