New bought hen not keeping her feet under her.

[Redhead Rae]

I just bought a trio of chocolate Orps. We stopped for lunch and I noticed one of the hens isn’t keeping her feet under her. What should I do? I don’t want to infect my birds if there is a problem and I already paid for them and left the property.

I haven’t contacted the guy I bought them from yet.

We are less than 15 min away from where I got them.

 

[WVduckchick]

Got any pictures? Did she get too hot maybe? Can you get her to drink anything?

Did he already have them caged and ready to go, or did you see them first?

He didn’t let me go back to see them. He brought them up in a cage.

Hmmm. I think I'd be inclined to call him and tell him she looks unstable.

Here is a pic of her on her side

She just stood up.

Maybe he caught them last night and kept them in the crate until you got there? She could just be tired/hot/dehydrated..
