This is my first flock and therefore my first incident.
On Wednesday evening I notice my black australorp pullet was in the coop, not roosting, and she kept nearly falling over. I assumed it was squatting practice as none of my girls are laying yet. Thursday morning she was still doing it and I realized that it was not squatting. I removed her, thoroughly checked her over. She has absolutely no signs of parasites, no bumblefoot, nothing. I have had her inside, treating with nutridrench orally hoping it was a vitamin deficiency. No vets will see her for testing, I've called them all. Today she's worse. Her left foot is curled now. I have zero idea of what this is, or what to do. She feels very thin now. She was just under three pounds two days ago.
