Help with chicken!

[A5linn]

My chicken is paralyzed from both legs and now she is struggling to drink and eat. She also has ongoing seizures and now her crop moves when she’s eating. I have to hold her down or else she will flap her wings everywhere where she can’t control herself. Any ideas?

How long has this been going on? Do you have any background on her illness? What state are you located in? I was looking back at your other thread. Are there any plants in the area or mold in food that could be toxic to chickens?

This has been going on for two weeks now. I’m located in Virginia. Her previous owner could no longer keep her and the rest of the flock. It’s been about three weeks that I had them with no issues. she’s the only one showing these symptoms. I already asked if she’s had these symptoms before and they said she was healthy. I also don’t have no plants that are toxic but they do free range. I also usually only give them fresh fruit occasionally. I know the previous owner did only feed them scratch grain and veggies/fruits. But I changed the diet since I know having scratch grains as an everyday meal isn’t good. So the chicken is currently eating from the brand NatureWise and I also give her rooster booster in her water.

How old is she? When one is paralyzed we tend to wonder about either an injury or Mareks disease. Mareks is a disease that can affect chickens in their first year especially. Does she have any curled under toes, or has she walked on her hocks?

She’s about 2 months old. The first week she couldn’t walk on one of her legs so I thought she sprained it. During the first week she had curled toes but now they are straight. Her legs are weak and she can’t stand on them. She has tried to move by pushing up on her hocks instead of standing on her feet, and after that effort she goes into a seizure.
