I have a 4 year old silkie hen that can't walk anymore. She just sits on her haunches. I have had her separated from the flock for the past week and have been giving her Vit. B12, Poultry Cell, Powdered Calcium, and boiled egg. When I pick her up she flaps her wings and moves her legs but when I set her down she resumes haunch sitting. She is eating good and seems alert. Is there anything else I should be trying to do for her? (Note: I had another hen do the same thing a couple of months ago, but sadly she passed.)
I will note I added 6 new pullets to the flock a month ago but they have been quarantined from the others and they all seem to be healthy.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
