Chicken can’t walk

[Lizi9]

I have a ISA BROWN that has all of a sudden not been able to walk. She is still chirping away but can’t walk to get food or drink. One of her eyes as started to close. Any ideas what could be wrong. She’s not very old.

There are several things that can cause a chicken to not be able to walk. Pictures would be very helpful if you can get them, if not a detailed description of what exactly is happening would help as well.
Are her legs swollen? How old is she? Does she move her legs at all? Is she having spasms? Do her legs stick out on the sides or are the directly under her?
I would love to help you but I will need more information before I can even guess at what’s happening.

She shuffles around on the floor but can’t seem to get up and fully walk

Could you try getting a picture of her legs? Maybe lay her on her side or pick her up?

I have 15 other choocks so not sure what’s gone wrong

Sorry for the late reply. Do her feet seem swollen at all? And is she having any kicking fits/spasms?

Could she possibly have leg mites? If they are far enough under the scales of her legs it could make it painful for her to walk.

No she doesn’t seem to be but as you can see her feet are very curled over
