Thank you all for your input. We took Tosca to our local Vet and she confirmed it was the correct decision. Tosca was euthanized and buried with all our other beloved deceased pets.

I cannot do any of those methods but don't want to see her suffer.

She just falls over. We have to prop her between shoes. She does not try to get up but she c an move a little by crawling. She has food and water directly in front of her. Likes wet cat, oyster shell will eat dry too and Ice water because it is extremely hot here in Miami, Florida.

This is day three of these symptoms. All other hens are fine. She does not have lice or mites. The last time she laid an egg, hard to say, perhaps a week or two. No egg around her vent, her poo pretty normal. Tail down when I stand her up. This came suddenly. How does one put a chicken down???

Thanks for the quick reply. Let me know if you need any information about Sunny.

My three year old Barred Rock has gone lame. She cannot walk at all, just falls over. She is eating and drinking but does not appear to be a happy. Calls out day and night. :( Can this be treated and recovered from?? If not, what's a girls to do, that is humane?

Is this the correct place to submit my photograph for 2022 photo calendar contest? Jodi Budin Miami Fl Her name is Sunny, she is a Red Star.

Will this affect her eggs? She laid today? Are the eggs safe to eat?????

Very helpful article. Thank you.

Thank you everyone. Your info and suggestions have been incredibly helpful. :yesss: We have isolated our girl and cleaned and cleaned. Put some ointment on the comb and tomorrow I'll get some iodine solution as well. I'll keep you posted. 👋 Jodi

Will this spread to my other chickens? Should she be isolated?

Can it be treated? Where can one purchase Blu-Kote?

Can it be treated? If so, with what? Is it contagious?
