Chicken Struggling to Walk, Please Help!

I wanted to give an update on my Easter Egger. Since the first post I posted asking for help, she continued to spiral downhill. I put apple cider vinegar in her water and was giving her liquid B vitamins orally. She seemed to be a normal chicken, eating and drinking fine, but she became more and more immobilized as time went on. She wanted desparately to be with the rest of the flock, but couldn't move around with them, as well as one other hen was being aggressive toward her. I quarantined her from the others, but the poor baby was very miserable as she wanted to be with everyone. Finally, after a long, hard fight, on June 24, she passed away peacefully. It was hard to see her go, but I've learned a lot and I'm very thankful for everyone's help.

That is so sad. I am sorry. I wish that we had been able to help. I learned just a couple of days ago that oregano helps with a lot of illnesses, so if something else comes up, try using that if you have it. It grows like a weed on my property so it is easier to access.

Hmm, I didn't know that. I'll have to keep that in mind. Thank you!
