I'm not sure and I'm definitely not an expert, but one of my hens had the exact thing happen a few months ago, except she didn't throw up. She made a full recovery! I hope your hen gets better!
Hello! we recently got six chicks from our post office yesterday. they are about four days old. Yesterday, they were all doing great, but today, one of them is not eating and won't stand.She also won't open her eyes, except if she is drinking. We went to the vet this morning and they gave us...
Thank you for the pictures! I will get a side view picture as soon as I can. The valgus deformity is sort of similar to what her leg looks like, only hers is less severe. Here's the best picture I could get of her! Her bad leg is closest to the camera and she's using her toes to balance.
Both of her legs are warm, but that might be because she was laying on them all night, so I can check again later.
I've never heard about the hen becoming a roo. We don't have a roo, so maybe it's possible.... She doesn't have a big comb or wattles, or pointy saddle feathers, though. She does...
Also, it is possible that she could be something else, because she is built differently than our other Welsummers. She came from a hatchery that doesn't tell the breeds, so we really aren't sure, and she's never laid an egg.
Here's the pictures of her legs!
On the first one, her bad leg is closest to the camera and she is trying to stand on her own. In the second one, her bad leg is farthest and she is in her chair.
Thank you for all the help!
We believe that she is a Welsummer and her spurs are way longer that the other Welsummers in my flock. She doesn't like me touching her right leg and gets mad and seems to be in pain when I touch her joints.She doesn't have bumblefoot, or at least I haven't seen any on her feet, and I'm not sure...
Thank you for the links! I will look at them soon, and also I'll get the picture as soon as possible. I've never heard of those bone deformities! Again, Thank you!
