HELP Limping chicken

[Ximena]

Probably not.
There is definitely something wrong with her.

What do you mean by this? Do you think that it's pain that making her limp or something else? I've heard that you can give a chicken a half a baby aspirin to see if they're in pain, would you recommend this?

No I would not recommend this.
Masking pain could make her injury herself.

I think she is showing signs of Marek's.

Is it possible that she's not in pain but there's just something wrong with her foot/leg that's preventing her from walking correctly? I know it sounds weird but I can't find any swelling and I find it a little odd that the other chickens aren't bothering her even though there's clearly something wrong, do they react to pain or injury? Also she definitely not holding back from walking around, she's constantly escaping from her sick pen to hang in the dirt or forge

What I meant was that no I don't think it is possible that she is not in pain.....well I guess she could not be feeling pain.

Oh ok, for your previous question I gave her half of a super B complex pill and to me she looks the same as yesterday.

It takes time, took my chick 2wks before he recovered. Continue with the Vitamin B Complex & feed riboflavin rich "treats". KikisGirls, I've used PolyVisol without iron, not sure what the dose for the pill, would you know?

No..I'm not sure about that pill either.

Just wondering if you found out what was wrong and hoping she's doing better
Best of luck

@Ximena How's your hen?

 

[Ximena]

Sorry, I haven't been on for a while, she seems to be doing worse. She's still eating very well, not laying, however, appears to be molting which is weird because she's only a year old. I've been giving her colloidal silver and the vitamin B but not every day.

Hi, I know it’s been a really long time I just wanted to say the hen is alive but still limping. She’s no longer separated because it’s so cold and she kept on escaping. I really don’t think it’s Mareks because if it was wouldn’t she be dead by now? I still have no idea what to do because even though she isn’t losing weight she seems to have trouble getting down the ramp in the morning and she sits down a lot.
