I have a pullet 4 months old which I thought had Mareks. Now I was giving her Hypericum and tonight I noticed her right leg was moving sideways too much. I cant remember if it waas the hip joint or the knee joint. But I bandaged her up and she seems to be eating OK.
Now when I found her with the other chicks a couple of days ago they were all picking on her. I mean really picking on her, like they were going to draw blood and kill her. Before that, for the first four months they were all getting a long quite well.

I am wondering what could have cause her leg to go out like that. And if anyone has advice about how to help her heal.
