•Blue Cuckoo Maran -8 months old.
She is on the heavier side compared to the other one we have (same breed)
•Acts normal-eating, drinking, laying
•About a month
•None of my other birds are exhibiting the same sysmptoms
•No bleeding or other signs of trauma but has trouble walking
•Not exactly sure, she was limping one day and then the next would barely get up. Moved her inside and she van walk and move but her feet are curled and she uses her wings to help keep her balance.
•Poop is normal
•We have soaked her feet in Epsom salt, Vetrx, vitamins and wrapped them.
•They have a man made coop which we use pine shavings in.
I'm just not sure what else to do, or if there is anything.
One thing I've noticed is she seems to have grown these fur spurs on her leg where the other one of the same breed does not.
Appreciate any guidance as I am a newer chicken owner!
