Mrs Yeti is still not walking or standing, but can now stand with assistance which is great news.
She's sitting on an old pillow because of the weight she has lost. The keel bone is very prominent and directly under heel like a ship so to stop her getting pressure sores we moved her to a pillow. There are logs on each side to stop her falling off! She is now (literally now) trying to stand up! Which i have to say whilst it is fantastic news is making it hard work for me! Before long I can see her needing a padded cell!

It seems that today's progress is that Mrs Yeti can now sit unaided without the pillow!
Anyone know how to teach a chicken to walk?

Thank you. She's a Brahma chicken.

But no one told her that she meant to be soft and friendly! Lol. She's not too bad. Perhaps getting used to me now. She has been exceptionally tolerant of being force fed (first 3 days), forced to take very strong painkillers and antibiotics, she is only now starting to get fed up understandably. She's probably going to be living in the house for a while yet though. I'll need to make sure she can walk and climb and roost properly before she can join the flock again. That may take some time.
Our next problem is her learning to walk again... 1 step at a time.

I'll make Mark 2 tomorrow
She's hanging from a door frame baby bouncer (picked up 2nd hand free).
The fluffy thing around her legs are her feathers legs!

You'll have to eat hotdogs, Spam, beef jerky, cheese, rice cooked in broth, loose scrambled eggs, smoked pork chops from the Mexican store and get groomed and bathed once a month.

Rereading the post of what Pippi eats, I saw loose scrambled eggs. Sheesh, isn't that the only way they should be served?
Also thinking I might like to bathe more often than monthly. Maybe I would rather come back as one of SatNavSaysStraightOn's chooks.

If we schmooze Sarah at Dippity Do-Dah Dogs with halvah we can work in more baths.
