- Why's my chicken doing this??She keeps slowly falling over and I'm pretty sure she just seized. Everytime I try and put her up right she leans her head back all the way and slowly falls to her side. We recently just had another chicken pass. submitted by /u/InvestmentLogical146 [link] [comments]
- Help with identify what’s wrong with baby chickHi everyone, have a baby check that is about four weeks old. She was doing really well in the beginning, but wasn’t growing as fast as the others. I was worried that she just wasn’t getting as much food and water. She keeps trying to stand but falls forward. . I’m not sure if this started happening because the other chickens might have trampled on her since they were bigger or if this was a birth defect, but she was walking just fine when we first brought her home. I have her isolated and trying to feed her food and water, but it’s hard for her to lean forward to dip her beak and water. Is there anything we can do or what might be the issue? submitted by /u/Few-Permission5362 [link] [comments]
- Day old chick only flops to one sideWe just hatched some chicks and ever since this guy came out of his egg he just stays flopped to one side (right side). He doesn’t like being forced to lay on his other side and doesn’t really use his right leg at all. He won’t eat but I can get him to take a couple drops of water. He’s maybe 24 hours old now. Currently he’s separated from his siblings cause they just trample him and walk all over him. I’m not sure what to do from here. I’ve been trying to just keep him upright for now. He moves around and peeps occasionally but doesn’t walk submitted by /u/liquidscience89 [link] [comments]
- Help! Something is wrong with one of my little ladies:(Hello, I’ll start by saying I’m a noob and have no idea what to do. Thanks in advance for any help. So a couple days ago we noticed one of my favorite little chickens was standing kinda funny. Over the past day or so her walk is definitely different and she seems like she’s having trouble getting around. She’s almost straight up when she walks and just doesn’t seem very coordinated or able to do her normal chicken stuff. Anybody know what this is? I want her to be ok so any advice helps. Thanks. submitted by /u/woooowthatwashard [link] [comments]
