Her head is tucked into her wing. She keeps her foot extended in front of her without putting weight on it. Her feathers look unhealthy. She's looking bad. I have her separated with a cozy set up. She's been dewormed. She has nice expensive organic feed and water. I gave her 1/2 aspirin...

Dewormer is a good idea. I didn't think about that being the root of the problem. I'll start them on some ASAP. Thanks! I can't help but think she is undernourished because of the roo and might have an injury too. I just thought I would see progress by now. I got rid of the roo six days ago.

No swelling in the foot. No discoloration. No warm or cold spots. Foot seems fine. I can move it and her leg.....she just can't manage to move her foot. She can hold up her leg. In fact, she kinda hopping sadly on one foot. Her poop is yellow and runny. She feels like she's lost...

She seems worse :( I'm not sure what is wrong with her. She can barely use her leg at all now.

Thanks! I'll post back an update. I have a feeling its malnutrition due to that roo. I hope I'm correct.

She is a happy and friendly girl who still is eating and drinking. She is social with me and the other hens. Her foot seems to be getting worse by the day. There is no evidence of abrasion or break. Nothing feels warmer than it should. Today, it flooded back a few times and she walked on...

Update: Her crop is swollen and very squishy. I'm thinking this is the problem.

I have four 2 month old chicks integrated into the flock. If I treat my flock for worms, coocci, etc... is it okay to treat the chicks too?

) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Around two years old Ameraucana. She is my biggest bird. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. She is normally the friendliest and most outgoing. She is laying in the same place and won't...

6pm - I put 7 fertilized eggs under my broody and moved her into a separate pen. Next morning - 8am : She is still happily sitting on them Afternoon - 6:30pm : She was found back in her original coop sitting on the empty nest. I put the fertilized eggs back under her. However, I will need to...

She hasn't eaten or drank anything today and her crop is hard. It doesn't make sense. It was empty yesterday morning and she barely ate. Is this a symptom of something?

Ok. So you think it might be Mareks? I didn't know if it was neurologically or curable. That changes things. I'll just take her with me.

Update: It's two days later from my first post. The silkie is still eating and drinking water. Her crop is full at night and empty in the morning. However, she can't seem to stand and stumbles around instead of walking. It's almost like her right side isn't working. She is also holding her...

Thanks!

The bag of feed is old. Interesting.... I'll replace it this weekend. I have a electolites/vitamin packet. I've never used it. I'll add it to the water tomorrow. Any advise on ratio?
