My 7 month old Buff Orpinton named Butter suddenly became paralyzed Sunday afternoon last. Its now been three days and she cannot walk or stand. She is eating practically nothing and not drinking water not forced fed. She layed and egg today in a seperate cage. She looks good in the face with clear eyes and and a stand up comb. She tries to get along on her wings, but usually just lays still. How long will this paralysis last? I hate to do away with her, but i cannot keep taking care of a handicapped chicken unless i know its temporary. I suspect she was bit by spider or ingested something poisiness. Is this perhaps permanent?
