The vet called and she said how long has she been paralysed for? I didn't know but have seen her sit in one place and worsening. Maybe she fell from the roost as she was there since yesterday late afternoon til around 8am this morning. She will be force fed to see if it is a dietary cause, but...
The vet rang and said she has had abcesses so she is being put into surgery under gas. They will keep her under observations and wrap her legs. I am to call in the morning.
Yes, I have noticed that she had the red unusual stuff around her beak too. We have just taken her and another chicken Red to the vet today, we will know tomorrow.

Hi. I am in Cairns, QLD, Australia. I won't touch the black things, but I have talked to the onsite manager here, and even though I have new clippers I bought from the RSPCA recently, he will not allow it and says the vet can take care of the clipping because of the twisted claws.
Thanks for...
I have been treating her with herbal - dried horsetail, for claw strengthening and mites. Plus chamomile and mint and other dried herbs in a daily footbath. I tried to ease the pressure on her feet by holding her up to float her feet.
