Please tell me what this is ?

There could be various reasons for this, i.e.:

• Vitamin deficiency
• worms/parasites
• viral infections
• ingestion of toxines
• mouldy food

If I remember right you just had one of your chickens dying of maybe pox. Did you send her in for a post mortem?

No, I did not send for the postmortem.
do you think this would be a continuation of the same ?

Thorough de-worming would be the first thing to do as the vitamins will not work if worms absorb them.
Secondly inspect the chickens and the coop for lice and mites. Bloodsucking mites can transmit diseases and leave a chicken almost bloodless overnight.

Sorry that you have been dealing with issues in your flock. I remember that you had a necropsy on some birds with gumboro or infectious bursal disease in the past. There was a thread with a respiratory disease more recently. And now pox. I don’t know if her lameness could be dehydration, vitamin B2 riboflavin deficiency, or possibly Mareks disease. She will need to be given food and water often, and she may benefit from being propped or sitting in a chicken sling to get her upright.

How is she doing, do you see any progress?
