Chicken laying on side, couldn't get up?

How is your girl doing?

yes...how is she. Mine shows no eye changes, no palpable tumors, she's still hungry & thirsty & perky. I've read a ton about Marek's & I don't think that's it...sure hope not. Her vent looks good & there is no hardness to her abdomen. Hmmm. Just wondering how your girl is progressing, Mum?

Oh, and thank you for the condolences for my uncle He is healed completely with Jesus now...no more pain!! PTL

You could also try researching vitamin Defiency. I think its vitamin B def that can cause lameness in the legs.

Sadly, she died on Wednesday. Looked like she had keeled over again and couldn't get up. When I opened the door for her first thing, she had obviously gone in the night.

Thank you so much for the advice and links, really appreciated.

Mum, I'm very sorry to hear that your girl didn't make it. See if you can get a necropsy done on her body -- it could answer a lot of questions. Again, I'm sorry for your loss. =(

You've only had her since Sunday so maybe she was already sick when you got her but the symptoms were minor...
