My adult hen josh is six months old. She was a normal healthy chick with normal legs but for the past four months I saw her feet have been slowly drifting apart and her hips or other joints were making a popping sound. I searched it up online and it said she had spraddle leg. Now she struggles to walk jump and roost and I don’t want her to suffer. So how do I help treat her spraddle leg?

Same pullet you posted about back in July or another one?


Photos or video of her may be helpful.
What are you feeding including treats?

Yes it’s the same hen. Am getting really worried about her…
land I now feed her mostly scratch and crushed eggshells and we feed her grass and vegetables. But my sister keeps on giving her scratch even tho I tell her not to.
Are you feeding her a nutritionally balance poultry feed like Chick Starter or an All Flock feed?

She needs balanced feed and vitamins as suggested in the other thread.
 
Has she been eating the Chick Starter the whole time or just a bunch of scratch?

Get an updated video of how she moves now so we can compare from Jul until now.
