Hi everyone!
We have a few chickens, and this morning, we noticed that one of our bantam roosters is just lying there, with its legs out from under it. He couldn't stand up.
He is a few months old and we brought him inside, and he ate and drank.
What could it be?
Possible:
Spinal injury, the dog stepped on him a week ago, but he was fine, could the others crush his back?
Marek's is doubtful, since he is eating, and no other chicken has symptoms.
I would rule out vitamin deficiencies, because they are free range and we regularly give them supplements.
