So Winnie came to me looking like a normal day old chick but her wing is only partially there and angles across her body. She doesn't seem to be able to fly. Does anyone have any like her or have any suggestions?

Hi I'm not an expert here but I can share with you what I did for 2 of my roosters and maybe it will help. I found one of Rooster with curled toes and like all my chickens they go to sick bay. I in increased protein and added hen hydrator to the water. He also had lice so he was washed several times while he was in sick bay. After about a week or on Hydo-

Shes super healthy but her little wing grows across her back instead of along her side and only part of it is there. Poor girl. She jumps but doesn't fly.

I would suggest getting a roost that is low to the ground, and making sure she can reach things like food, water, and nests. Accommodation is key when dealing with a disabled bird.

I do believe we will have to build her a ramp to the rooster bar. Our lowest is about a foot off the ground. Food and water already accommodates her. I do worry about her not being able to fly to escape things as my lock does free range but there isn't much I can do for that unfortunately. She has a safe secure run and coop for bed each night through
