Hi, I'm Hannah and I have a Red Star hen who seems to be very ill. About a month ago, I noticed she was limping. I got her out of the chicken yard and examined her. She was limping on her right leg. No bumble foot seemed to be causing her limping. Then I looked on the left foot and there was a dot that was on the smaller side that I though was the beginning of bumble foot. Then I caught a hornless wiff of something. I looked at her underside and saw it was rotten. I took her in the house and rinsed every where I thought was nessesary. Approximately 10 maggots were in the sink when I was done. I put her back in the chicken coop. The next few days I rinsed her underside at the spicket and put peroxide on the rottening wound. I only did this about 3 times a week. Just this past week she has been no where but the nesting box. A few minutes ago I picked her up to look at her and she couldn't even stand up. Her legs and feet were limp. She is constantly laying on her side in the nesting box. Does anyone know why her legs would stop working? Thanks in advance!
