Will my chick live
Our take
Oh dear, it sounds like you’ve had quite the cluck-tastrophe on your hands! Finding a chick in distress can be heart-wrenching, especially when you’re not sure if your feathered friend will pull through. It’s wonderful that you stepped in with warm water and a cozy spot near the heater to help revive her. Chickens can be resilient little creatures, but it’s also important to keep a close eye on them, especially after a scare like this. If she’s struggling to open her eyes and walk, she may need some extra TLC. While we can’t predict the future, keeping her comfortable is crucial. Let’s dive into what you can do next to give her the best chance at recovery while you’re away.
| | I found her near death yesterday not moving and I didn’t see her breathing I put her under warm water then put her near a space heater and gave her food and she livened up again but she can barely open her eyes and can’t really walk as seen in the video I won’t be home to watch her and want to know if I should expect the worst when I get home [link] [comments] |

- Chicken fell in horse trough!! I’m gonna cry. Is she going to be ok?Help! I was looking for her and found her floating in the water. She is like jolting? 10 weeks old. I have her wrapped in towels and a heating buddy around her for warmth. Is she going to be ok? Is this shock? I believe I saw her about 3-4 hours earlier running around so I don’t think she was in the water for too long. My heart is hurting what can I do? submitted by /u/Lillrw [link] [comments]

- Update on sick chickenSo a couple days ago I made a post about my chicken being possibly sick but I wasn’t sure. So far she’s still alive and she’s pretty alert. She eats mushes poultry feed and drinks water, but she can’t walk. She also has a tough time trying to balance, like I notice we have to put her in a certain position for her to stay upright. When she tries to adjust herself, she uses her beak to kind of drag herself, if that makes sense? She still goes to the bathroom but she’s always sleepy. I don’t know why she can’t walk yet, I felt her legs and they are still warm. When we try to get her to walk she just cries and tips foward. It breaks my heart seeing her like this. Can somebody please help me find out what’s wrong with her? I’m trying to help her the best I can but I’m not sure how else to help her. My parents don’t know either and they kind of gave up on her but I haven’t. Please help! Ask me any questions and I’ll answer to the best of my ability. submitted by /u/Frosty-Drive3282 [link] [comments]
- lethargic, weak chickenhello! we are looking for some help on one of our chickens, if anyone has the knowledge. can anyone provide any kind of help? is she a lost cause, are we are delaying her death? be kind, please, our layers are not like our broilers - they are our pets on wednesday, my parents found one of their hens wrapped up in some netting in their horse barn. we are estimating that she had been trapped out there for 1.5-2 full days, as she was swamped in her own feces and severely dehydrated. yesterday (friday) i came over after work and we did some research on how to bring her back to full health. last night we observed that she had no movement in her right claw, and minimal movement in her wings. we moved her to a warm, dark space separate from the other chickens, with a heat lamp and fresh pine shavings as well as a towel for upright support. she was extremely lethargic with no strength, and very light in weight. we gave her 10ml of water mixed with egg yolk + a small amount of salt for calories/electrolytes via a dropper. between then and now, she has been checked on every couple of hours. tonight she is able to move her wings, but still not her right claw - though she is able to move the leg itself. i'm not sure how to add videos here but i did attach two pictures. questions? suggestions? pointers? submitted by /u/Maleficent-Gap-4601 [link] [comments]
