Rhode Island Red can’t walk

[DebAnneDigi]

She was fine yesterday, her eyes look bright. I checked her feet they look good, a small bald spot on her belly, molting. She laid an egg yesterday. Was trying to post a video…

Are both of her legs moving? Are the toes curled under? Is she unbalanced? Protect her from others pecking her if she is lame. I would separate her in a dog crate with food and water near to her. You could check for a stuck egg that might cause temporary paralysis, by inserting a clean finger into her vent. Try to get her drinking some fluids and eating som e moistened food. Chopped egg and a 1/4 tablet of human vitamin B complex daily in case of a deficiency would be good.

My Rosie is a year and 1/2 old, sits all day, since Monday, I confined her to bottom of coop with electrolytes in water. She did move at one point across the coop. Gave her calcium and Vit E in some yogurt; Thought she was egg bound, missed laying on Monday, Tues gave an egg, it looked lighter in color, and felt porous. Today’s egg looked normal. I put her out in secure crated area for some Vit D, from sun… normal, if not, larger stool… her wings flap, so not broken and feet look fine.
Gave her oatmeal and raisins today and yesterday. Few pieces of cantaloupe
I tried to make a video, still shots I was tossing grass, she was eating it.

Anyone have any other ideas? I was going to go to farm store for antibiotics …

Yes her toes are curled under.. I pull her leg out gently, she retracts them.., I just purchased attached supplements not sure about the magnesium for chickens, but they are good for human muscles

It was a long month.. I ended up bringing her in house to better supervise supplements, fluid and eating. She slowly regained some stamina. I took her for short walks and forced her to walk a bit.. I put her back in run, some hens were aggressive towards her. I kept her in enclosed area.. for a few days and tried again.. I found her cowering in a corner.. I ended up locking up the 3 aggressors for 5 days.. thankfully all is good now and back to normal. My Rosie is laying again too
