I have a chicken with Swollen, Hot legs and is now starting to walk pigeon toed. Poor baby is actually starting to step on her own feet as she walks. She doesn't stand up all the way and tries very hard to keep up with the small flock of three other chickens.(all the same age) She's 3 1/2 months old.
She eats well. Plenty of Fruit, grain and bugs. Bugs however are becoming few and far in between as she sits more now and is only getting the bugs that seem to cross her path. I make an extra effort to put food in front of her as it appears so difficult for her to walk. The housing is very clean. A friend looked at her and said she is at a very healthy weight, no mites, looks healthy so she is puzzled by what might be wrong with her. PLEASE, does anyone has any ideas?? If you think Antibiotics will help? I have Penicillin 250 mg on hand but wouldn't know the dosage for a chicken.
