Hi! I have an EE who is two years old. A couple of weeks ago, she had been pecked by the other chickens. We separated her and she was healing well. But, then she started limping. It was a weird limp, too. Her left foot with her toes curled. Soon she started dragging it. Now, she can't really walk at all. She drags her body awkwardly and used her wings as crutches. I can't tell if her other leg is still okay, or if it is going bad too.
There does not seem to be anything outwardly, physically wrong with her foot/leg. No bumblefoot. I thought maybe she had scaley leg mites and gave her Ivermectin. I've been giving her Epsom salt baths too. She is eating okay and drinking a lot. I've been giving her food like tuna and cottage cheese for more vitamins and electrolytes in her water. She is alert but just not moving.
Does anyone know what could be wrong? What can I do? She just keeps getting worse. I've had a lot of chickens die this year, And really do not want to lose another...
Thanks!
