Sudden Leg paralysis

[usmanone]

The chicken was eating good but was a little lazy so I decided that she should get some light and fresh air. Till about two days ago she was the fastest and most active one.

The moment I put it on ground one of its leg seemed hurt or something. She started lingering.

I came back after two minutes and she was struggling to stand up!!

I helped her get up but her fingers were closed(straight) so I made her sit but her heart and breathing rate(she opened her mouth too) spiked!! She tried so hard to get up but couldnt. Her wings got puffed up i put water and food near her and ate and drank.

All this happened within 5-7 minutes. I waited for another 5 minutes but she got worse.

So i put her to sleep.


Any idea what could have happened?

Me, personally have had that happened - I gave them vitamins and electrolytes for a few days and kept her isolated, took a while - but she was OK - my guess is moldy feed or just a vitamin deficiency.
