Hey guys! Chick struggling to stand- toes seem less strong than they should be.
Hey there, chicken enthusiasts! It sounds like you’re dealing with a little chick in need of some extra love and support. It’s not uncommon for chicks to struggle with toe strength, and your innovative approach with those adorable "chick shoes" is truly egg-citing! After 24 hours, it’s great to hear that she’s able to walk and move about more normally. However, it’s a bit concerning that her strength tends to wane after a few days. Supplementing her diet with poultry cell and cooked eggs is a smart move, but it might be worth exploring additional options or consulting with a poultry expert for further guidance. Let’s rally together and brainstorm ideas to help this feisty feathered friend regain her strength!

Sick chicken
Uh-oh, it sounds like your feathered friend Blondie is feeling a bit under the weather! When a chicken shows signs of illness, like refusing to leave the roost or sounding hoarse, it’s time to step into detective mode. First, you've done well by isolating her to prevent any potential spread of illness. It's great that you checked her for injuries and egg binding, but now you’ll want to keep a close eye on her behavior and symptoms. Look for any additional signs, such as changes in appetite, droppings, or lethargy. Keeping her cozy and hydrated is key, but don’t hesitate to consult a vet if her condition doesn’t improve. Let’s get Blondie back to her cluck-tastic self!
