    My 4yr old hen is sitting on her butt/hocks and kind of dragging one foot

    She enjoyed the sugar water mixture! She wasn’t really drinking the plain or ACV dosed water I was offering, so this was a happy little win for me. Thanks. Also, do you know about how long it would typically take to see any kind of improvement once started on the B vitamins? Immediately or weeks?

    My 4yr old hen is sitting on her butt/hocks and kind of dragging one foot

    It hasn't been suprisingly cold, pretty typical of PNW winter weather. I will give her that warm water mixture, thank you for the suggestions. She doesn't seem thirsty at all so I'll have to dip her beak in it. I'm giving her the polyvisol as well as human b-100 vitamins (emptying the capsule...

She also can't walk well, dragging and swinging one foot that seems maybe it's paralyzed. It doesn't seem to hurt her, is not hot or...

    1 year old limping BCM hen with yellow poop - please help!

    She has been laying but very inconsistently (which we have found to be the case with most of our younger birds from the start of our 4 year flock). We also have an egg eater in our flock so sometimes we just have no idea how many eggs were laid (or not). When she limps, she puts a little weight...

    1 year old limping BCM hen with yellow poop - please help!

    I have a one year old Black Copper Marans hen who has been acting "off" for a few weeks, with signs of improvement and then regresses a bit. She's shown all these symptoms separately - puffed up, listless, separating from the flock, roosting way earlier than necessary, head flipping (like she's...
