It's been ages! Just to update you. She is now walking! I have just fed her up and I kept encouraging her to walk or move her legs and finally 3 days ago she took her first steps!:-) Her walking is slow but she is almost back to being fully balanced. She can climb into a nest box, peck between...

The good news is that my Mum's friend has agreed to look after her for the week I go on holiday. I am going to give my mum's friend some cheese and yoghurt to feed her aswell as the anti-inflammatories and her normal food! so glad they didn't put her down today:D I thought they would to be...

I mentioned calcium deficiency on the phone to the vet but this morning when I went to see him he didn't mention it so I'm going to feed her yoghurt and cheese just incase. he looked over her fully, felt her legs, weighed her and checked vent and crop. He seemed to think it was some sort of...

I rang my local vet this morning as soon as I could. I said that I thought it was more than a simple anti-biotics job and so she told me it wasn't worth bringing her in. She gave me to other numbers and I rang the first one only to find out the avian vet is on a conference in Aberdeen about 9...

I gave her some baby food this morning before I went out and when I got back she had ate it all. This evening I have given her some yoghurt as it is the only thing I can think of which is full of calcium and that I will have in the house. Does anyone know any other foods which has calcium in...

I will keep you posted! and I'm from England but I will have a look at it! Praying our vet is good with chickens!:D Daisy

When I put her into bed tonight I put her at the front of the hut and I was about to open the back door of it to then lift her up and put her in her box at the back. She started walking on her elbows and she walked a good 2 maybe 3 foot to where she settled down for the night! So she could...

Thank you! I'm hoping too! I have PM her earlier about it and the good news is that I have convinced my Mum to let me take her to the vets! We are going to try go on Monday! We haven't got a avian vet near us though so my Mum doesn't think they will do anything for her but when I ring up I am...

Sorry for your lose :( Pictures might help? Keep her eating and drinking as if she does get an infection she needs to be as strong as possible. Daisy

Keep her indoors or somewhere where she can be safe, warm and have a good rest. She maybe exhausted, scared and in shock so she might just need to sleep it off. You need to keep her warm though, other than that I don't really know, Hope someone comes along who does! Hope your chick recovers Daisy

What vitamins would you use? Calcium vitamins for humans?

I just went to give her the egg shell I crushed up, (I found some). It isn't very long but it shows her and she's pushed up on to her elbows. Daisy

Thank you for the Link! It sounds a lot like mine! the only difference is mine isn't laying but she is rather old and doesn't lay much anyway! My mum had said if she hasn't made any improvement by Wednesday I have to have her put down This is because I am going on holiday on Friday night and...

Would Cuttlefish do? like the bone part? We have no egg shells:( My mum put them in the bin earlier Daisy

I shall go give her some now and then mix some with her food, If it was a calcium deficiency wouldn't it come on gradually? or when she was younger? Daisy
