Hi everyone- I have about 20 chickens and 5 ducks. Yesterday morning I went out and found one of my black astros all puffed up and barely moving. I brought her in to examine her and didn't see anything wrong! She was walking around all day the day before. She ended up passing in my hands as I wrapped her in a towel. A couple of hours later I went out to clean everything and examine the flock and noticed that one of my 4 month old ISAs was just hanging in a corner. I recalled that she had been doing that the day before as well and I thought she was laying. I have examined her and it seems she is having trouble with one leg/foot. She is eating and drinking a ton, her poops look normal and she is very alert and making content sounds. She just freaks out when she tries to move. I thought maybe there was a fight or one of my newly discovered roos got aggressive. I am attaching a couple of videos and a photo for you. I'm not sure the two are related? I really don't know what to think? I've considered Marek's and Botulism, but she is not exhibiting more than one symptom...and I don't think her legs are completely paralyzed. I don't think anything is broken and nothing is swollen. Any ideas would be very welcome.
