On the morning of 12/29 I went out to my chicken run to see one of my girls falling over when walking. I immediately separated her and put her in a crate in the garage.
She is almost 9 months old and she’s a Rainbow chicken aka Dixie Rainbow. She was laying, but it’s winter here and all the chickens have slowed down anyways.
She did just start roosting on the bars with her sisters a few weeks ago. She has always slept on the floor and just started sleeping next to her sisters, so not sure if it’s a leg injury or what.
Here is a video of her on 12/29, hope this works it’s from my instagram
I checked her over. No mites or bugs in her poop. No bumble foot. I have felt around both her legs and she hasn’t reacted to me feeling around them at all.
I gave her water with rooster booster Vitamin B in it. She has her regular feed. And I’ll occasionally give her a scrambled egg since she’s been locked up.
Her poops do have a little bit of grain in them, but they aren’t bright green or anything just brown. Her legs are not splayed or turned in and when I pick her up she’ll wrap her feet around my fingers.
Any ideas what it may be?
Here is a video of her from yesterday.
No poultry vets in the area and no other chickens and exhibiting any symptoms or issues
