One of my hens hurt one of here legs about 4 days ago. I think she try jumping on top of something in the coup and hurt herself. For the last 4 days she has been getting around on the one foot just fine, so I figure she would be fine and her leg would heal in time. Today I found her in the coup will all the other were outside and she was just laying on the floor and could barely get around on two feet. she does not seem sick since she is eating and drinking great. shes not sneezing and doesnt seem to a runny nose.
i looked up a few chicken diseases and mereks seemed a possibility, since she is having problems with her feet, not sure about the wings? but again she isnt drowsy or seem sick? I have isolated her in a small cage so she doesnt feel the need to move around. will keep her in there for a few days and see what happens?
Anyone got any advice? can i rule out mereks, anyone know anymore about this disease?
