I am so sorry for your losses!! I know how it feels to lose them When you get those results back from the lab, would you mind letting me know what it is? I hope your third pullet continues to recover!!I have had three pullets recently with these symptoms. I made a chicken wheel chair for them. It's a cardboard box with leg holes toward the front with a poop hole close behind them. I even managed to put oatmeal carton wheels on it. The chicken is supported in a sort of sitting/standing position so they can eat and drink on their own. I'll try to find a few photos.
Two out of the three pullets have died from this. One is at the state lab right now getting necropsied and her tissues scoped for what might have killed her. No results back yet. I've been trying to treat this for seven months. The one at the lab revovered completely twice before coming down with the intense symptoms that finally finished her off.
A third pullet is recovering and getting around okay with one gimpy leg, but she manages to get into the coop and into a nest box to lay her eggs.
So far, it's been determined that lymphoma is involved in my pullets' case. But it hasn't got a name yet. I've been calling it "May's Syndrome" after the pullet who's been battling the disorder the longest.
