    Limping chicken isolated from flock

    She’s still eating and drinking and her poop looks normal. However she seems to stand in this odd sloped position. Sorry no video of her walking, I tried to post it but it won’t load at all.

    Sadly no. None of the vets in my area see chickens at all.

    Limping chicken isolated from flock

    I’ve recently noticed one of my hens limping and laying down a lot. She struggles to get into the coop at night and she spends most of the day by herself; I don’t know if the flock has isolated her or if she just isn’t able to walk as far as they can. I suspect bumble foot, but I’m not sure...

    Blue Ameraucana thread!

    Just wondering, is my blue roo really considered a blue? Or is he something else because of the darker black feathering?

    1 chicken dead and another unable to walk

    Hopefully it's not that, but it would make sense since the two affected chickens came from the same hatch...

    Good news!! I fed her some food mixed with water and her poop looks a bit more normal so at least she's getting hydrated now.

    She's about the same right now, hasn't gotten any worse or better. I've been giving her water through a syringe every so often but she still won't drink on her own. What is lymphoid leukosis? I've never heard of that

    If she makes it through the night I'm taking her to the vet in the morning, hopefully then I can find out for sure what's going on.

    I gave her some fluids and have her soaking in warm water and Epsom salts just in case she is eggbound. I thought coccidiosis mostly affected chicks? Or am I wrong

    I'm not sure when she layed last but ive been getting the same amount of eggs as usual so I assume within the last day or so. Her comb is bright red.

    Her appetite is normal as well but she won't drink any water

    Here you can see her trying to stand but she just falls right back down.

    She is still cooing and making all the normal chicken sounds, her eyes are bright and alert. Everything about her seems 100% normal except that she can't walk and the watery white poop. I'm at a complete loss as to what could be wrong.

    She can stand up about halfway in a somewhat hunched position, but when she tries to walk she loses balance and falls back down.

    the orpingtons poop is white and watery, the rest of the chickens poop is normal. She moves her feet when I touch them. Her crop feels normal as far as I can tell, she looks normal overall besides not being able to walk. There's no odd smell either.
