Chicken bald back

[ireneplus6]

have just taken on some more girls, one of them was limping when she came nearly two weeks on she is still limping but is quite perky in herself, we have her in a sm enclosure within the big pen cos she was getting bullied all the time and couldnt run away, she isnt eating a great deal her beak is a little crossed does it matter if her crop isnt full when she goes to bed i have tried coaxing her with porridge and pasta but she just seems to want to scatter it everywhere

 

any suggestions

 

thanks

Have you looked at her feet to see if there is a problem ?

Just that I spotted 2 of mine may have Bumblefoot.

 

Hopefully your girl has nothing like that but you should look to see if you can see anything.

 

As for getting her to eat, have you tried scrambled egg or some sweetcorn ?

You could also try tuna- rinsed, or mashed potato, or even some strawberry might tempt her.

 

I hope she gets better soon.
