My dear old last hen isn't very well. She was fine on Thursday, didn't see her Friday as was at work but dad said she was fine and this morning I let her out and she didn't leave the cage so I left her be for a while and when I came back she'd came out but was just sitting down. When I checked her over she didn't seem to have use of her legs. She can still move them, but doesn't seem able to coordinate them at all. Her wee chicken feet sit curled up but again she can move them just doesn't seem to coordinate them. I don't think she's eaten cause her croup felt empty and she only had a few small greenish poos.
Have her in a dog crate tonight with a few different foods and new water bowl she can access from the one posisiton and just have to see how she is in the morning. Don't want the poor thing starving to death so if she doesn't perk up she will need pts but I'm keeping fingers crossed she eats tonight.
She's still perky and bright and affectionate as usual so she could be eating or drinking and I'm not noticing it out of the bowls but I'm not sure.
