In the Brooder
Help!
I bought some Cream Legbar chicks and one of them is rumpless. She has been doing fine, but now I notice her legs are not growing and she is having difficulty flying up to the roost. She is walking very funny now, too. Of course, she is last in the pecking order. She is now just sleeping in the corner of the coop. When she gets out she stays clear of the other chickens. She eats and drinks normally. I feel so sorry for her. What is the matter with her? There is nothing out on the internet that explains what is happening. I think she will eventially just not be able to walk. I posted a picture of her that was taken a few months ago. Maybe Marek's disease? She's about 7-8 months now.
