Help! Chicken won't stand up

[nashhen]

My Rhode Island Red is about 6 months old and she has not been able to walk for a week now. She eats, drinks, and goes to the bathroom. Her poop is solid and not too runny. Her feathers are still vibrant and she moves her head around. When I will wash her, she tries to get away and she will flap we wings a little bit. She sits with her feet right below her. Her feet look normal (no spots or swelling). I've put electrolytes in her water and I've been trying to keep her eating and drinking. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does it seem like her legs are paralyzed ? Please post on the "emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures," thread, in full detail. You may also want to put "Mareks," in the search box and see if your hen is showing the same symptoms. Do you have any others chickens acting like her? I hope the e/r people will be able to help you.

Here's a link to get you to the emergencies/diseases forum. Post a full description (like you have here) and maybe a picture would be helpful. Good luck, I hope you can find out what is going on with your RIR and she'll be back on her feet soon.
