This happened to me. One of my girls, Lavern, was fine one day, then the next, she couldn't walk and her feet were clenched into a tight ball. I searched her entire body and the only thing I found odd was she had a sour crop. So, I started massaging her crop and began feeding her yogurt. I fixed another favorite treat, rice with eggs and cheese.
I thought for sure Lavern was going to die. I put her in another pen, for her safety as well as for the health of my other girls and Roo.
I asked my neighbor, who had many chickens of his own, and he said that here in Florida we have lots of scorpions. Many are small and would not hurt an adult but to a chicken, it could be harmful. He told me that was what happened to one of his chickens. It made sense to me because I have seen small scorpions.
This happened about 3 months ago. But, I am very happy to tell you that with all the babying and gentle massage of Lavern's feet and legs, she is once again walking.
Just be patient and hopefully your chicken will over come this.
Good luck.
Eating a chicken bone would not make it hard for a dog to walk. The reason veterinarians ask people not to give chicken bones is that the bones can become lodged in the dog's mouth or esophagus causing scratches that can become infected or causing the dog to choke.
A baby quail cannot have a chicken for its mom. If a chicken and quail were to mate, the quail would likely die. The chicken would kill it. Quail are too delicate to be around the chicken.
If a chicken had a miscarriage there would be no egg, that would be like asking what to do with the baby I had after I miscarried...
Consuming chicken bile can cause various adverse reactions in humans, including nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset. It is not recommended for consumption due to its bitter taste and potential toxic effects. It is important to avoid ingesting chicken bile, as it can be harmful to human health.
Animals can attack after they have become spooked. They can also stress and cause a stampede.
The kid's name was Dante Love. But he was not paralyzed he just had to quit playing football because it would be possible to become paralyzed if he kept playing.
Yes, most of the time it is due to stings from anemones, corals or poisonus fish. I would imagine fish can suffer nerve trauma as well that would cause paralysis.
Only if it was afraid to tell it's father about it's decision to become a duck.
What would probably cause a forest habitat to become a desert?
chicken pox
Scruffing a cat can cause them to become temporarily paralyzed because it triggers a natural instinct called the "scruff reflex." This reflex is present in many animals, including cats, and causes them to become still and relaxed when pressure is applied to the skin on the back of their neck, mimicking how a mother cat would carry her kittens.
Seizures are usually a sign of injury or illness. You would need to take it to a farm vet to find out the cause before you can treat it.
well lightning might cause your chickens stress and cause them not to layif youmeantwhat it would do if i struck and egg i would assume the egg would explode
you keep it out in the sun in a cup or a container put some liquid in it and it would turn rubber and a couple of weeks later it would be a chicken #RealTalk :))
No definite answer to that. The problem isn't with breaking the vertebrae, the problem is if you damage the nerves, the spinal cord that runs through the vertebrae. A bad spinal cord injury will make you paralyzed.
yes freezing a chicken egg will cause it to swell and crack.
It takes both a yolk and albumen to form a chicken. Both are used to grow the embryo during incubation.
