Neurological Problems in Chickens

[61patterson]

I have a D'uccle pullet about 8 months. She started limping 2-3 weeks ago I couldnt find anything visual to be a problem. Now she is dragging toes which tells me it is neurological.
I wasn't able to palpate any growths or tumers. Any ideas?

it might have been an animal or a fall that maybe fractured her leg to become limping, or it might have been hit and caused different brain function
I hope she feels better

Was she vaccinated for Mareks? Other problenms besides Mareks can cause neurological symptoms, such as lead poisoning and vitamin deficiency. I would start some poultry vitamins that contain riboflavin or B Complex vitamins in her water. Read these links:

She isn't vaccinated for Mericks. And vitamins I don't think are he problem but I did start some. Her overall health appears good. I will read up more on Mericks.
