Thank you for rechecking. She is doing good. She walks around but is still a slow, but the fumbling and struggling is all gone. I still try to give her the Vitamin B supplement each day. For a brief period she lost her appetite but after changing her feed she is eating well and has healthy poops...

She laid an egg today, which she hasn't done in a while. It had a bump, which I think shows either excess calcium or a lengthy process growing the egg.

It's been a while, and she is doing very good. She walks around and forages when I place her on the ground, and I haven't seen her struggle much at all to move nor is her foot curling anymore. She spends most of her time standing or walking, but does still rest often. She still hasn't done any...

Another Update: She seems a little better. I have been giving her half-doses of the vitamins each day, and the mudballs are gone. Her appetite and thirst seems to have increased, and I saw her take two steps in a row without stumbling or using her wing. She did them slowly though, and sat down...

I could try that, but I've brought up buying all flock feed for our rooster and was told no. Still sounds like a good idea. Any other ideas for increasing protein levels, besides free-roaming for insects/meat?

Update: She is able to stand sometimes. I guess that's why I'd didn't notice it at first. It's walking she struggles with.

Our chickens get layer feed from Tractor Supply (empty bag below). They also eat seeds, vegetation, and insects when roaming. They get treats once in a while (like once a week or two) in the form of oats or fruit/vegetables but most days they don't so they don't get fat. We haven't done any...

She feels a little skinny but not deathly thin. Her breastbone feels normal. I am not allowed to (though I'd prefer) feed chickens eggs if they're sick. Our chickens are not wormed, but we did treat them for lice several months backs

A three year old hen of ours has gone lame. She doesn't stand up or walk on two legs, but she can "walk" on her hocks/shanks. Basically she is sitting down and moving her legs forward, kind of like how a person can "walk" on their knees. She also pushes with her wings to do this. However, she...
