Sunday morning when I let them out of their coop 2 of them, both black stars, wouldn't put weight on one foot. These bum feet didn't seem at all tender to the touch, no signs of scaly mites or any other parasites.
I was worried about mareks because…well because the internet. I separated them from the rest of the flock and have been watching them closely. They're eating and drinking and although they can't use the one foot each they're managing to get around. I've been supplementing with extra vitamins in case of deficiency. So far they're not any better or worse. And the rest of the flock are 100% fine.
I would appreciate ANY input. I'm a new homesteader at the BOTTOM of the learning curve in a new area where I don't know anyone and I'm so worried about the girls. Thanks so much!!!!
