Giant Silkie Project.

When your mom has a limit on how many she can feed, yeah, there's a limit.

(To be clear, I maxed out the limit with her permission... )

ah. i see. im the adult in my situation so no limit for me!

Gonna do a redo on the test breeding for Khaki with my Silkie 007, next year. Right now I'm maxed out with chickens.

I did an attempt once this year, but the eggs never made it to hatch.

One of my silkie pullets suddenly lost the use of her foot. Hoping it's just a simple vitamin deficiency. She still has use of her leg, just not her foot. Her other leg is still usable.
Another possibility, is a pinched nerve, which would be better news.

I've had a problem in the past when a few chickens came down with mycotoxicosis, from eating moldy feed. They had to be put down due to that. I hope that she didn't eat anything with mold.

I'm gonna give her vitamin therapy, & see if she makes improvements. She first got her first dose of Rooster Booster, vitamins recently.

Update.
Good news. Seems like it's a pinched nerve after all. She moved her toes abit after the first dosage of vitamins. Her leg had the jitters, which is something I've seen with chickens with a pinched nerve.

Glad to hear she’s doing better!

Hopefully she continues to improve.
Will be updating later.

Will be checking on her her in a bit, & give her another round of vitamins.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Now leaning towards Sprained. She has leg, & foot function, she just doesn't want to use it.
Able to curle her toes, around my finger, & pull back with her leg. Will give her an Aspirin later, & see if it will encourage her to use her leg since it'll be less painful.

I was too hopeful. It does look like she did ingested Mycotoxin.
All I can do is keep treating, & hope she pulls through. Hate it when they eat something moldy.

Aww i hope she pulls through. I didnt realize i had moldy food, but was able to clean it up before any chickens got it. I have to thank the ducks for that though.
