My Black Australorp was fine the day before, but I found her laying down and she was unable to get up to greet me. I took her inside and checked for wounds or bruising but didnt find any, she will grab my finger if I press it to her foot so she can feel and control her feet, but now she lays with her legs straight out behind her. She is fine otherwise, poops look normal, she is alert and everything.
Her hatch date was Feb 18 so it cant be egg related. She has been with 2 chicks I got at the same time as her, a little roo that is just starting to crow now that was also raised with them, and my 2 adult hens. They all are acting normal. They are all eating 20% layer pellets and free range when I can supervise. They were not let out the day that I found her.
I mixed up a wet food to try to cover all the bases, baby bird food with some kitten food and DE, poultry vitamins, garlic powder, and a little apple cider vinegar. She ate the food but this morning there is no change.
Could she have dislocated something? What should I do?
