she is a five year old barred rock
still growing in her feathers from a molt.
this past Sunday while they were out free ranging under my supervision.She just stopped scratching in the grass.She got very vocal.She pulled her left leg under her.like they do when they are warming their feet.she went to put it down.and stopped.I noticed her tail feather fanned out and she puffed out her feathers.and started to tremble as if she was cold.several times she went to put her leg down and it was as though it was hurting her.I seen her neck arch up several times.she put her leg down.and limp a few steps and sat down.I had to make her get up when I put them back in the run.She was limping bad.My first thought was a stroke.And than I thought it may be a vitamin deficiency.I gave her a couple of drops of vitamin B.and some in her water.I gave her some baby vitamins with no iron this morning.She is still limping and seems to be in pain.I have a cage set up in the house and will be bringing her in tonight.we have some cold temperatures on the way.
