Success with wheelchairs?

[Telekinetichicken]

hi guys
I was wondering if any of you have personally had a chicken use a wheelchair or similar device successfully, or even seen or ‘knew someone’ who has.

I’ve seen the website which I cannot remember the name of right now, that has instructions on building a chicken wheelchair I think out of pvc pipe. And I’ve seen photos of chickens sitting in wheelchairs on google and Etsy.
But that’s all I’ve seen is photos. I looked on YouTube at some point to see if I could find any evidence of chickens actually using the wheelchairs and not just sitting in them.. like wheeling around, and the only videos I saw the chickens never scooted around they just sat there.

My disabled silkie (full time house chicken) has one normal functioning leg and one fully paralyzed leg she can’t move at all. I’m thinking of making her a wheelchair but yea I’ve just never seen any chickens actually using them other than to sit stationary in.

Thanks

I am not aware of people making wheelchairs so much as chairs to get their birds to sit upright.

There maybe something in this thread that can assist you. Good luck to you and your chicken.
