Hello all, thank you for your assistance with this! I just got some pullets, 4 months old, a few weeks ago and one of the rhode island red's is unable to walk, she has her legs splayed out and although she can move them, she's unable to be mobile. She is also gaping and holding her beak open almost all the time. Yesterday she was eating like crazy and drinking water, but today she seems a little weaker. If anyone has any advice for me I would really appreciate it! I have just been giving her electrolytes, vitamins, and some homeopathic dewormer. I was thinking of trying some OTC antibiotics? Not sure what to do for her :(
 
Sorry you have a sick bird.

What were you feeding her before she got sick?
Do you have Marek's disease in your flock?
