Good Morning All
This is a new one to us. We have an EE hen that is aproximately 1 1/2 years old. She is completely lethargic almost listless. No other signs or symptoms. Eyes are clear, sinuses clear, no poop lately so can't tell you that, not egg bound, no injuries.
What she is doing is that her right foot curls up if she tries to walk or if you try to make her walk. She doesn't want to eat or drink. She has lost most of her balance but it seems to be caused by the lack of use of the foot.
What we are doing so far is forcing her to take Poly-Vi-Sol w/o Iron, forcing her to drink water, giving her scrambled egg and wet cat food if we can get her to eat it.
It appears to me that she has a vitamin deficiency thing going on but I may be way off here.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
