Thank you, I am in Missouri and she is definitely dying and at this point all I am hoping for is that she will go quickly. I'm extremely concerned that whatever this is is going to hit the rest of my flock. I will see if a state vet will help me figure out what is going onI am sorry about your pullet. At 5 months if she cannot walk, I would consider Mareks disease as a possible cause. Botulism is also possible, from eating something dead or found in a compost bed. The sneezing may be coincidental. Mareks can cause a decrease in immunity that makes them vulnerable to common diseases. Give her supportive care with fluids and watery food offered to her. Keep her warm and separated so that she doesn’t get bullied. Where are you located? If you lose her you may want to get a necropsy to find out what she has. Here is a list of state poultry vets to contact:
