Hoping to help my disabled hen

[Elise_Jones]

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Oh gosh, poor dear! You might stop by this thread, it started as a cross beak thread but it contains many other birds with disabilities and maybe you can get help there... https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...cial-needs-chickens-and-their-keepers.628361/

Good luck with your girl, she looks like a sweetheart!

Thanks for this resource! I will check it out

You might be able to make her a wheel chair like this! I thad large wheels, and depending on how many rocks you have around, it could get difficult, but it will be easier and less stressful, then limping around not that leg.

Thanks for the idea! This wheelchair is definitely more all-terrain than the ones I’ve been looking at.
