I feel horrible… I had my week old baby chicks out for a little run around and as I was putting the water back in their brooder I didn’t realise that a bad chook had zoomed over and I accidentally stood on it, 65kg adult….
Poor little chicken kept having its mouth open like it was gasping for air and there was a bit of a gargle sound. I was holding it and it kept falling asleep. I currently have it snuggled on my chest, its breathing went from feeling rapid to more steady. I did get it to have a little bit of water by putting small droplets on its beak. It does chirp really loudly if I move position like it’s alert. But settles very quickly going back to sleep. It’s seems to have strength in its legs but just wants to fall asleep.
Is there anything I should be doing? I really don’t know if it’s going to survive. Hoping the sound of my heart beat is soothing for it.
It felt like I stood on its whole body not any in particular area like leg or wing. It is also a bantam langshan so quite very small.
Tried to give it food but wasn’t interested.
Any help would be appreciated, my dog who is like a nanny to them is very concerned.
