Hello fellow chicken people. I am a country girl with a flock of feathered friends (around 20) who I love dearly. My most precious hen suddenly became paralyzed about 2 weeks ago. I her isolated and in a special place where I can suspend her every 12 hours to give her a rest from just laying around. She's eating, drinking and pooping. She hasn't laid an egg since I found her this way and doesn't seem to be trying to. Nothing seems out of the ordinary except she has no use of her legs. She is my friend and I'm hoping someone on here knows how I can help her. We don't have a vet that sees birds in my area.

Please post in full detail at "emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures," thread. That can be a sign of Mareks disease.
