Hatching
My Rhode Island red hen (8 months or so) had raised some alarm with me 3 weeks ago. She stopped roosting, and was found hiding. Quickly I took her and separated her from the flock in her own kennel, making it dark and quiet for her to relax. As a few days passed she became fatigued so much she couldn't eat or drink, I began to syringe feed her water mixed with honey, as well as pure garlic juice mixed with water. To my surprise she came back "to life", fast moving, healthy appetite YET she cannot move her legs well, she keeps bobbing back as if squatting. Seeming weak, other birds once I let her out to see her walk pecked at her, she shreked and passed out? When I pick her up she would also look as if she was falling asleep.
Comb, everything looks healthy, except for her legs and strange weakness.
*image from her weakest point. She is much healthier now.
Thanks so much!
