You've heard the fairytale, now you need to hear the real story...
This is the true story of Cinderella and her wicked step sisters. The story takes place at The Hammond Farm. Which is in the backyard of the author, Sandra Hammond. The story tells about her first ventures having pet chickens...
I love all the pix and advice. I put a band-aid on mine last night since she had a leg curled in. I don't know if it will work but it is worth a try. Yours is cute in her little brace. I named mine Forrest. Forrest Gump.
Ok. I watched a video on putting a band-aid on splayed legs. Going to see if that helps. She is still leaning on it the wrong way but I just did it last night. Hope it works!
It turns out she walks well on the right foot. The right foot and leg work perfectly. The toes were curled on that but seem fine. Her left foot she won't put down but leans on the feathered thigh part. I'll try to post a pix
I was given a free chick a few days old with 2 clubbed feet. Is there a way to make braces or anything to help guide her to walk around somewhat normally? And will I be able to let her be around my other regular chickens when she's older or will she always need to be separated? She is eating and...

I am a preschool teacher and I have written 3 children's books. My pet chickens had inspired me because they have been the best pets and this is the best website to...
I actually told the symptoms to the Feed store lady who has more experience than any vet around here. I live in the city and it costs as much to talk to them as to see them. I think I acted too late. It was 3 weeks and I assumed she was eggbound. Those were her only symptoms.
Sadly she died today. I waited way too long to give her some. I assumed she was eggbound and kept trying to treat her for that. But now I have a life time supply of some! I don't know what was wrong with her. Only symptoms were no eggs, pasty poopy butt. Ate until this morning. She didn't...
I began antibiotics yesterday for my sick Penny. A little in the water. When will I see if it is working? She is sleeping under a heat lamp in the house.
Wow! I've never seen molting like that! Maybe because I live in Southern Ca. Does it depend on the chicken or where you live? Mine just lose a few feathers.
well, after giving her antibiotics and yogurt, she slept in the house but is just laying there and barely moving. I put a heat lamp on her. I'm not sure what her deal is, maybe internal laying? I read about it but I don't quite understand it. Does it last this long. Going on 3rd or 4th week.
