2 year old hen- can't move

[ducklingsTN]

Hi,

I have a two year old hen that suddenly cant walk. She sits on the floor but can still eat and drink normally. Don't see any tumors, blood stool, etc. Any ideas? Worms? Mercks? Something else? Any help would be great. Thanks

Is she sitting on eggs??????

Nope, she just kinda sat one day away from the egg boxes and refuses to get up.

For mercks, her eyes look normal to me.

Possible lack of vitamin E

This chicken could have scaly leg mites. They burrow into the scales of the chicken legs and feed on the blood. It makes them lame and spreads very quickly. I would separate this hen.

Can you post a picture of the legs?
