Hello!!
I noticed my girl, Daisy, over a week ago sitting in the yard when we let the girls out to roam. But i didnt think anything of it, I thought she was just sun bathing and she still slept on the roost so it didnt strike me as odd. Well last friday i noticed one of the other girls chasing her under a wood pile, and i didnt notice them coming out so I went to check it out. When i got over there I noticed one of the chickens trying to get to Daisy and was pecking her. I had to crawl under to get Daisy out and thats when I noticed she was hurt. So since the other girls were trying to peck her, I seperated her. She has been in a dog crate ever since (4 days).
Its her right leg and it looks like she is unable to step down on her foot and just kicks the air. She sits back on her legs all day. She still eats great and drinks water. Her poops are still normal and there are no scrapes or discoloring on her foot to be bumble foot.
I have read up on Marks disease and i dont believe it is that due to the fact it has not gotten worse or seen other body parts acting weird.
I also checked her Achilles tendon and that appears to be in place. So i am unsure why she wont extend her leg.
But other than that she is alert and still looking good.
I am trying to post a video of her. Do you guys know how? It is saying it does not support my extension?
