I posted previously about my bantam frizzle cochin not using one of her legs. She started out hopping around, avoiding weight on 1 leg, a couple weeks later she was dragging that leg behind her so I brought her inside to try to heal. Now it has been 6 weeks since the first signs and both legs are not working. She cannot walk, cannot even stand on either leg. She is inside the house in a dog crate and I have been giving her Nutridrench along with vitamin B tablets crushed up in her yogurt. There appears to be no life in her legs. I have read up on Marek's but I am not convinced. She is eating and drinking. She just lays with her legs underneath her unless I prop her up with towels. I think I will try to make a sling hammock for her this weekend. Please help, I don't want to give up on her, but I am new to chickens and I am honestly lost! Would pictures be helpful in this situation?
