Followup to chicken unable to walk
Our take
Thank you to everyone who chimed in on my last post about my little feathered friend! After three weeks of worry, I’m thrilled to report that she took her first proper steps yesterday! While she’s still a bit wobbly and hasn’t regained her speedy dash, I’m optimistic about her recovery. During this time, she’s been enjoying a mix of multivitamins in her water, chick feed, calcium supplements, and a delightful buffet of worms and insects—plus, of course, plenty of cuddles! 🥰 Remarkably, she never stopped laying eggs and is still averaging about three a week! I truly appreciate your support and advice during this journey. Here’s to more cluck-tastic days ahead! 🐔❤️
| | Thank you to all who responded to my last post. After over 3 weeks yesterday was the first time she walked properly. She still unsteady und doesn't run like she used to, but in think she'll be fine 🥹 During this time she's been getting multivitamins for chickens in the water, chick feed, calcium supplement and lots of worms and insects and cuddles. 😊 She's still laying like a champ and never stopped, averaging about 3 eggs per week.

- Update: Chicken still sick, can’t walk or stand. She can perchMy poor Pickles went to the vet, laid an egg, (I thought she was egg bound), she’s been getting around the clock care in quarantine, but she still can’t walk, she can perch on a dowel, but that’s it. She is eating at least one scrambled egg a day, not really drinking but if I string water over her beak she drinks. Her poops looked normal this morning, yesterday they were mixed, some normal, some watery. It’s been 6 days of this. WTH?? This is her little set up. Any ideas? submitted by /u/LemonyFresh108 [link] [comments]

- New chicken can't stand up, but is eating and drinking.Hi guys, I got a new hen for my serama rooster, one of our family members also keeps bantams and agreed to let us buy one of their hens. she seemed fine when we first saw her on the video call, and the first time I touched her a hot noon, which is also the day I bought her,she could stand. I then played with my cousins, because we were set to go home at night , yes I'm a child. so they kept her first in a bamboo chciken cage, then she was there for a few hours. It was very hot out so I'm thinking maybe she had a heat stroke? I didn't think she would be affected because the area at that time was a bit shaded.I know, I was wrong for this. Thank you for your insights, in advance I'm a new chciken keeper so any help would be appreciated, thank you!!! submitted by /u/FreshMeet7529 [link] [comments]
