She has also been vaccinated against mareks too

I did feel an egg in there but I was not sure how to tell if it was stuck or not

If you have any human calcium tablets or Tums, crush one and give it to her mixed in some chopped egg or wet feed. Get her to drink some water. You can give her a warm soak in water, getting her to relax, and she may lay the egg. After 20-30 minutes, if she has not laid, place her in a humid and warm spot in your house. Hopefully, she has some temporary paralysis from pressure on a nerve associated with egg binding.

Specifically the "treatment" section.

Ok so I’ve done the bath no problems it’s been a few days I don’t think it’s egg binding as she pooping just find. She has taken on a new sitting stance. I posted pictures of her feet. One of her toes looks like it may guy be jammed. Any thoughts on if it is or how to fix it? Thanks

Ok so looks like she is stretchy not want to put weight on the pads of her feel. Some of her scales are looking like they are bulging. Not to sure about scaly leg mites yet. Would it be good to scrub her feet, put on some blu coat the apply some vasaljne for moisture?

Have you tried giving her vitamins snd electrolytes yet? If not get some that have riboflavin (vitamin B 2.) Her posture sitting on her hocks can be a sign or riboflavin deficiency, but also can be Mareks. Have you tried a sling yet?

 

[Lilbitchickenkeeper]

The sling is proving to be a bit of a scary thing for me. I am working on trying to make something. not sure where to buy the vitamin at? Tractor supply?

SO I have started her on rooster booster as this was the only thing I could find that has vitmain B2 in it. Still trying to figure out a sling. I have noticed that now she is only walking on her tippy toes, and will not put any weight on her foot pads. Last night I came home to her sitting in the mud... it rained. I dried her off cleaned her up. washed her feet. I guess the vitamin will take a few days to kick in. Anybody have any thought with the new walking pattern? I guess it might still be the vitamin def. but everywhere I looked this is mainly affecting chicks.
