Chicken limping

[Wyorp Rock]

She’s doing a bit better today. Her crop emptied over night, so I don’t think she has a crop issue. She’s eating and drinking a bit, but still won’t move. I can’t figure what the issue is- obviously her foot is injured, but I’m not sure how. She doesn’t react when I touch or squeeze it, but she won’t put any pressure on it. I think there must be something else going on- would a bruised foot cause her to be this lethargic?

I'm not sure what's going on with her. The way she is positioned, it makes me think Marek's disease, but I'm not a vet.
The only way to know for sure is if you lose her and send the body for testing.

I would try poultry vitamins that contain B vitamins or you can give her 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily.

Okay! I will look into that. Thank you so much for all your help!

Hello! Just wanted to post a quick update. Rosa seems to be getting much better! I’ve been feeding her some eggs and garlic, with some herbs such as turmeric, ginger, and oregano mixed in. (I read they were immune system boosting). I’ve also been putting since Apple cider vinegar in her water! She stood up for a bit today and took a few steps, which is a major improvement! She is also much more alert, and she is pecking around and clucking. Still not sure what happened, but she is pulling through!

How is Rosa doing? Did she ever get to walking better?
