Ok, so this is kind of strange. I take in sick and injured chickens... and I recently aquired a mottled houdan hen that can't walk. The info I got: the hen is only 1 year old. She has been in this condition for 6 months. She continues to lay eggs daily or close to daily. She has not seen a vet, just been kept in the house. The uses her wings as crutches and gets to food and water easily. Does anyone know what this could be? Other than just broken legs. Will it do herany good to see a vet if her legs are in fact broken? Can they be fixed after being crippled for 6 months. I've pretty much ruled out Marek's. I just want her to be able to rejoin other chickens and live a happy and healthy life. Thanks! :)
