hello! we recently rescued some factory farm chickens. they are not in good shape, but we are worried for one in particular.
she is 11 months old, maybe weighs a kilogram. when she arrived she was being transported with a huge amount of other chickens, she was squished under them.
she is weak and does not stand up on her own, one of her legs is cold and somewhat atrophied. she will not put that leg down. it is not broken.
she doesn’t show much interest in eating or drinking. she also twitches her head, as if shaking something off, pretty often.
her stool has been pretty runny, greenish.
we have given her a b-vitamin complex and painkiller. we are thinking of giving her gabapentin.
she is currently inside the house with one of her friends.
