New to keeping chickens

[DaisyChicken17]

Hello everyone,

We have only had our Golden Comets for 2.5 weeks. One of our hens starting dragging her left wing and is limping, not moving around much at all. We examined the wing and it doesn't seem to be broken, she's eating and drinking, poop looks normal, and she's laying eggs. We've separated her from the rest of the flock, and I've given her a small amount of apple cider vinegar in her water. Any ideas on what may be wrong with her? Please help!

Hey, DaisyChicken17!

Sorry, I don't know much about disease, I have never had any problems.

Sometimes a blow or peck to the head can cause brain injury. Her symptoms could also be Marek's Disease. Please post in fullest detail at "emergencies,diseases, injuries, cures," thread.

Welcome!

Totally echoing what has already been mentioned, may be a head knock or and I hope not, Marek’s.

I see you have posted on the ER Forum and wish you and her all the best.
