About 3 weeks ago, my 4 year old Buff Orpington started limping and having trouble walking. She's bad for a few days, up for a day, won't get out of the nest, then she gets to the run on her own. Often sitting with a leg sticking out, flapping her wings for balance. She eats, drinks, has no eye or nasal discharge. Has diarreah and appears to be losing weight. Seems alert in her eyes. Thought maybe she had arthritis or cancer or something. This morning a second hen was down with the same thing, who was seemingly perfectly healthy yesterday. Anyone have any idea as to what this might be?
Any information will be helpful.
