Very happy to report that Alassë is now back out with the flock :) she is still a bit unsteady on her feet but she can jump up onto the roosting bars and go up the ramp at night. A big improvement from not being able to stand at all! Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions/advice!

She is able to stand now, and I often find her standing rather than laying down. She doesn’t have much interest in eating but does not seem particularly sluggish/lethargic. She will drink. I’ve been giving her warm water mixed with nutridrench and she will drink it from a dropper. Her breathing...

It has been 24 hours and she is still breathing heavily and sitting very quietly. I gave her a little nutridrench in her water as well. And yes, it is ready, don’t worry
