Snowball is still sick!

[Noraaaaa]

So pretty much I have an eight month old Easter egg hen who has been acting like this for the past I’d say about month. She has not laid her first egg while the other two that grew up the same age as her have and have been laying steadily for about a month. When I first put her in a cage, she was not eating and she couldn’t really walk and she was looking like she might be egg band. Now she just pretty much sits in the coop all day and she gets down to eat and drink a couple times a day. There’s a chicken named Shelly who doesn’t really like her and snowball is pretty scared of Shelly. I noticed that her wing is dropping, and she falls to the side sometimes. As you can see in the video when she tries to walk, she sometimes steps on her toes. When she lays down and is sitting normally, she rests all of her way on her hind end and her feet tuck in word.

I am so sorry!

Has she been to the vet?

Has she been to the vet?

No, I don’t want to pay for that and she’s not one of my show birds so she just may have to get euthanized

Yep, I completely understand.
I hope she gets well soon!

Is she vaccinated for Marek's?

Just because they are vaccinated for Mareks doesn't mean they won't still show symptoms. There are lots of different strain. I personally would still suspect Marek.

Is she getting thin? How sharp is her keel bone? Weight loss alone can also make them wobbly.

She is pretty much the same weight as she has always been. Her keel bone is kind of sharp and pointy, but round. Can you treat merks?
