Well she has been eating a little but I'm still tube feeding her. She is still limping badly and stepping on her injured foot with the other foot but the wound looks great and is healing fine. Anyone know what the lameness looks like that comes along with prolonged foot infections? It seems...

Update! She's way sassier today and limp has improved. She actually moves around in the crate instead of staying in one place. She will stand and seems interested in food when she is standing up, but when she sits down she gives up. I think I'm going to stick with the hypothesis that Mareks...

Thank you so much for all the help!!

Well I'll do my best and I'll update with results. She is now quite interested in me since I sat here for so long. I can hear her guts gurgling around....that reminds me I should go make dinner!! Ha

Also the bird that died from mareks (it was obvious because it had the follicular deformity) died like 2 years ago. I wonder if this bird has always had the ocular symptoms and I could never get close enough to see her cute little eyeballs lol

Yeah we had it in our flock ages ago but only one chicken ever died. After just having a mild limp for like a month. Guess I should have thought of that! Oh well Ill just feed her and see if she gets in good enough shape to go back with the others. All of em probably have it anyway, plus now I...

Maybe I should do that. I'm scared to! Is there a hack to make sure I don't stick the tube in her lung

Also she is pooping/peeing but only like once a day. It's hard to get her to drink because she hates me lol

Will do when I get home!

Her legs do work (she will try to hop away but is wobbly and falls) I did the surgery the evening of thr 31st about an hour after I found her. She is more alert and makes noise when I grab her but isn't walking better yet

So I went out of town for a few days and when I got back, one of my hens was laying on the ground and couldn't move around too well. Of course our rooster had been mating her as many times as he could since she couldn't get away. She has a shallow flesh wound on her back from his spurs, and...
