Hello friends,

Actually he became very ill before three months so I gave him terramycin and he recovered and start walking again but after half months he was not well again so again I gave him terramycin.. But this time he recovered but not able to walk again...
What should I do for him. Please help me with this.

you could make him a sling

or a little wheel chair,as a last resort if he is suffering badly,you would have to put him down.and maybe trim his nails a little?

He looks very weak, pale, and I would supect that he might be suffering from Mareks disease. Chickens with Mareks can become lame, and then seemingly recover, only later to become lame again later. Mareks also causes a lack of immunity which may cause the chicken to suffer from common diseases. Can you look him over for lice or mites crawling on his skin? He might benefit from vitamins and electrolytes in his water. A sling might be helpful to keep him upright and in front of his food or water. But he may be suffering, so if you believe that he is suffering, I would consider euthanizing him. Here is a good link with pictures of chicken slings:

I'm so, so sorry. He does look very, very sick. I would also suspect Mareks.
Sometimes as much as we would like to, there may be nothing that can be done for him other than supportive care, or ending his suffering. I don't say that lightly, I know it can be a difficult decision.

I too would say that it looks like Marek's Disease. Is he still showing an interest in food? If so, there is still hope. He needs to be supported in an upright position as lying like that will put more strain on his body and internal organs. A chicken sling or hammock can be made very simply from everyday items....

You can clip pots to the front of the box for food and water so that he can reach them himself and the height of the fabric needs to be adjusted so that his feet just touch the bottom. Take him out of the sling at least once a day and encourage him to move towards a small, favourite treat. Start small, a distance of just a foot or so and extend it as he gets the hang of it. Don't worry that he has to crawl with his wings as long as he shows some enthusiasm to get to the treat.

If he has lost interest in food, then I am afraid that I would recommend humanely ending his suffering.
