Lead poisoning

[RosewoodFamilyFarm]

A couple days ago I posted about needing help figuring out what is wrong with my chicken. Depressed, lethargic, horrible balance, green poop, loss of coordination. I really believe it is lead poisoning.. He is showing more symptoms of lead poisoning than anything I have researched. My husband will not let me take the chicken to the vet because last time (different chicken) was super expensive.. Any ideas on heavy metal detox I can do from home? Any help would be great! Thanks for just taking the time to read this! God bless you and your flocks

I have no experience with lead poisoning or chelation therapy, but you can get calcium EDTA in Walmart and other pharmacies as well as online. The report I read said that chelation may or may not help. Here is the data I just read, and a Google search of the drug:
