We found 1 of out little australorp pullets in the coop, on her side today. when we picked her up to put her on the ground she was walking on her "knee" with her leg extended out in front of her. her upper leg seems to be working fine, she draws it back & everything but from the knee down its not mobile. her toes are even limp. We had to bandage her wings to the side because shes scratched them bloody, to the bone i think. so not they are drooping down also.
She seems healthy otherwise, eating fine not making a lot of noise & falling asleep when we're holding her. I just don't know what could have happened. i do know it wasnt a rat or anything, theyre in the coop all night with the door closed & there isn't any marks on her leg at all.
I really appreciate any help, We've had horrible luck with the Australorps this year
