Any word on your chicken???? Ours is much the same I'm afraid. I thought she was worse today but now I don't think so. I put her out on the grass and she just kind of fell over to the side. She hasn't really done that before. But then later she was walking on one foot (barely) but still not really using the original bad leg. She still has her appetite! The only time she really makes an effort to walk is for food! She does shuffle around some for that.
She has been trying to dust bathe in the shavings in her rubbermaid container alot. I have looked on her for mites and don't see anything but is there something else I should look for? I looked around her vent and near her skin in a couple of places. During the day if that makes any difference.
I don't know about the moldy food. It wouldn't have been chicken food but they could have eaten something somewhere with mold on it. Nan has never been the most adventurous chicken. I would think she would not have gone somewhere the others didn't but who knows really.
Keep me updated! I hope your chicken is feeling better.
