Chicken can't stand !!??

[Chickenlover720]

My three year old RIR can't stay up on two feet. She tried to walk but when she does she collapses like her legs won't support her. I've never had any issues with her in the past and I'm very concerned for her. I'm going to try to post a pic that will hopefully show what I'm talking about.

I'm sorry she isn't feeling well.
A few quick questions:
What do you feed her?
Have you brought any new birds home in the last few months?
Are you familiar with Marek's disease?

Thank you for your speedy reply
1. I feed them layer pellets from rural king. I can't remember the protein off the top of my head. They also free range during the daytime.
2. I got new chicks about three weeks ago but they are housed in a different coop.
3. No, I am not familiar with Mareks.

Are your new chicks vaccinated for Marek's?
Where did you buy the new chicks?


Can you take a short video of her and upload it to YouTube?

Do you know when she last laid an egg?
Is she eating?

I have no idea when she last laid an egg. she was eating fine and even made her way over to the waterer and got a drink. When I held her she could grip my hand with her feet. She also is acting completely alert and otherwise normal.

 

[Chickenlover720]

Tell me if that works. She falls at the very end.

Do you think I should quarantine her? Hopefully the video showed enough, that was the best I could get right now.

No. I would not separate her unless the others start picking on her.
