For about five days now my chicken has been acting funny Sits in the corner ,does not move much She is eating and drinking but not much
I ve given her antibiotics for two days ..slightly perkier but still not moving and can't stand.
I moved her food next to her this am and she is eating well.
I just noticed that she can't stand because her leg seems to be dragging...not connected to her body properly? When she falls on it it goes sideways and out from under her.
She is a red comet , about 20 weeks old . I have raised her in a double sized cage/ crate the total area is 30" x 60". I could not put her with the full grown hens ...they were not nice to her and she was too small . I planned on introducing her to the other birds soon but now she's sick so that can't happen.
What to do? Is this some chicken disease?
I can't imagine that her leg will heal if it's dislocated which it seems to be
Help,
Suggestions!
I do not want to put her down!
If I keep her separate can she survive without use of one leg .
Will she lay. .?
I m at a complete loss ...what to do?
Thank you for any help you can give me.
