Sorry
Is this a diagnosis?

 

[The Happster]

Wyorp Rock may be able to help you.
May have to wait a few hours though as they are likely in a different time zone.
Hope your hen feels better soon.

Could it be Mareks?

I was wondering that too.

I have had a look but don’t think she has the symptoms she has normal looking eyes but she can’t stand at the moment and keeps curling her feet underneath her so possibly leg paralysis?

Also she does have diarrhoea so I am more concerned now

Looking at symptoms what is labour breathing in a chicken?

I had a pullet with the same thing, she couldn’t uncurl her feet or balance...her wings were drooped and her neck was twisted...she wasn’t lethargic and had a good appetite, but she was gasping and seemed in pain so we’ve had to put her down

I hope and still think it wasn’t mareks because none of my others are sick, but it can lay dormant for a while...fingers crossed...

I suggested it was Marek's because another one of yours is sick. Have you been near another person's flock recently? Have you been quarantining new birds?

Thank You to everyone who suggested and gave advice

Goodluck!

Thank you to everyone who supported me and gave advice but sadly Buttons passed on a few minutes ago. She was lovely and she is now with the angels.
thanks again

Keep a close eye on those other birds.
Sorry about Buttons.
