I have a hen who has been in my kitchen now for about 4 weeks. She stopped walking and was getting bullied by the other hens. I brought her inside and started trying to figure out what was wrong with her. She has no visible injuries, sores, or wounds. She eats and poops quite regularly. She is quite thin, and is growing new feathers so she looks rather homely. I have treated her for leg mites, she is on medication for worms, and has B12 supplements. When I first began the B12, she perked up and used her foot and even ran around the yard, but a few days later she is back to just curling her foot up and laying down most of the time. If she does stand, she stands on the curled-up foot. I have tried almost everything I can think of, and have not seen anyone post a similar problem without an obvious solution, like bumble foot or the like. She is over 2 years old.
Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thank you!
