Immobile chicken?

[BlindLemonChicken]

She does have a pronounced breast bone, and seems lighter than normal. Also, the curled up toes, come and go. Could it be worms or parasites? If so, advice for treatments very much appreciated

This isn’t really my wheelhouse. Hopefully you will get advice soon.

You could deworm to see if that helps. Ime, when they lose their legs like that, often its something reproductive going on. Cancer, EYP, etc.

Curling of the toes can often just be a response to being turned over, sometimes if they are curling while she's laying down, possibly a pain response or could just be flexing the feet, hard to know.

For deworming, Fenbendazole is a good choice. Safeguard Liquid Goat dewormer (10%) is what I'd use. Dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once daily for 5days in a row.

I would consider if she is able to get enough food during the day. My chickens have two feeders and a good feed . . . but my rooster simply wasn't getting the food. So even if there is a good feed and supplemental vitamins, it doesn't help if they aren't accessing the food for whatever reason. The fact that she perked up and ate when isolated is interesting.

Is she still doing well on being reintegrated?
