Chicken can't stand, leg injury or disease?

[Eggcessive]

I am sorry, but glad that she is not suffering. It is always a hard decision.

Not encouraging. Having recently had such symptoms in my flock and had it confirmed the birds exhibiting the symptoms had lymphoid leucosis, I take no pleasure in telling you that this is what it appears your girl may have.

What is your location? We can help you find a state lab to do a necropsy on her if you choose to euthanize. Actually, if the lab is within driving distance, you can take her in and they will euthanize as well as do the testing. It's important to know if this virus is in your flock as it may affect more chickens

Carol, your girls were actually the first thing to pop in my mind after reading the original post days ago

@MrsYnd I am so sorry for your loss

You might be interested in reading @azygous post. She did an incredible job treating her girls and documenting everything. Of course I really hope your bird didn't have this, but her posts shares so much information.
