I have 2 chickens that can't walk.
The first is a 4-5 month old white leghorn hen that a a month or so ago i noticed looked very, uncoordinated it was almost like she couldn't control herself, she would have one wing flopped down in front of her feet and every time she took a step she wobbled a bit. It never got worse so i wasn't too concerned but a couple days ago i saw her laying down in the coop with a bloody wound behind her comb ( which i would assume is the roosters ) I put blu-kote on it and separated her in a pen on the grass. ever since then she hasn't really been able to walk on her own. I came out today and she was a lot worse, not even able to stand or turn over.
The second one is a 2-3 month old whiting true blue that i noticed a couple of days ago had i pretty bad limp, i left her with the others for one more day but when she was worse in the morning i put her with my leghorn. I came out today and the same thing, couldn't stand. But she was more coordinated and brighter then my leghorn which makes me wonder, is it the same thing? Whats going on with them? Please let me know if there is anything i can do to help them.
Thank you.
