neurological Problems with 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?

I don't think I've ever heard of one dragging their toes. That's a new symptom to me. I think it would be best to post in full detail at "Emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures," thread.

This is a tough one. Like Diva said, post it in the search thread. Hope you find an answer!

So sorry about the problem. Make sure you have examined the pullets leg, foot and hip to make sure there is no injury, wounds or dislocations in the joints.


This could be Range Paralysis - one of the types of Marek's Disease. It can start with one leg paralysis. Please do post under emergencies and hopefully someone with similar experience can offer help.
