I have a pullet about 8 weeks old.
She was in an enclosure with her siblings and seemed fine. Two days ago I found her puffed up and struggling to walk. She appears to have an issue with one leg.
On palpation it feels warmer than the other side. She does not flinch or fight when I move it or touch it. There are no obvious wounds.
I have her in a small crate with food, water, B vitamins. I am looking up dosage for Motrin/Ibuprofen, as we don’t have aspirin.
She has been vaccinated. Her leg is not paralyzed like I have seen in birds with Mareks.
Any ideas?
Please excuse the mess in the picture, this photo was taken right before cleanup.
