My chicken is sick!

[Iownchickens]

My chicken is sick. She is a plymouth rock (or dominique, cant tell) and she has a twisted foot. I am in southern California. One night we moved her to the garage because it was cold outside. She was perfectly fine at the time. The next day I found that one eye was sealed shut, the other was but a slit. She could not eat food. She can still get up, but when she tries to walk, she falls. Please help! I can not get a picture of her right now, but there is one of her before the sickness.

Greetings from Kansas, Iownchickens, and

! Pleased you joined our community but sorry to hear about your gimpy chick. I'm no chicken vet but I think you should try to really limit her movement - keep her in a confined area. Also post your concerns in the link below. Good luck to you!!

Thank you, I will try to move it.

 

[Iownchickens]

Oh, could you tell me how to move it?

if you contact one of the moderators - they will do it for you. I think the moderator that pops up on this thread uses the name Sumi.
