Hello everyone,
Recently we got given three Ross chickens from people we know and they came in very bad condition! Their feathers were plucked on their back side that all you could see was skin and all looked quite over weight. About 4/5 days ago one of the chickens suddenly stopped walking and is now constantly sitting, he was still eating and drinking fine, sp we picked him up to see what the problem could be and his legs /feet are all crippled almost as if he is paralysed in the feet, so he is unable to move, I think he can still move his wings but doesnt get him far without his legs, as stated he has been drinking eating untill today, he wont drink or eat, and has clear bubblles coming from his eyes and nose!! Im really scared in case he is in pain and I dont know what to do, another thing is that when he breaths his face under his eye inflates in and out, what could this be??? my brother and I have no knowledge about chickens to this extent I would really appreciate it if someone have me some insight. Do we put him down? Can we cure him? How do I do these things??
I thank anyone who has the time to read this!!

You have certainly done the right thing by separating him from the others. please do post in the emergencies section link that emlouxo left for you. Some pics would be really helpful too for other members to help you and your bird.
