Update: Chicken still sick, can’t walk or stand. She can perch
Our take
Oh, the rollercoaster of chicken care! My sweet Pickles is still feeling under the weather and can’t walk or stand. After a trip to the vet, where she laid an egg (I thought she was egg-bound!), she’s been getting non-stop TLC in quarantine. The good news? She can perch on a dowel, but that’s the extent of her mobility. She's devouring at least one scrambled egg daily, yet drinking remains a challenge unless I gently encourage her with water. Her poops were a mixed bag yesterday—some normal, some watery—but today they looked much better! It’s been six long days like this, and I’m scratching my head here. Any cluck-tastic ideas to help my feathered friend? Check out her cozy setup!

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? [link] [comments] |
