Homestead 🇦🇺 | Broken Chicken | Will she ever walk again? | Intrepids

She eats, she drinks, she's fiesty, but will she ever walk again?

[@toastthelightfury]

This happened to my chicken. We were considering putting her down but in the day we were supposed to put her down she started moving one of her legs so we decided to wait and see if she would get better. In the next few days she started using her legs again and she should even sit up. We did lots of exercises with her legs and she started being able to move again and even run away from us. She’s still inside being taken care of but she’s a lot better than she first was.

Thanks heaps for that. I was hoping someone might offer some insight. We shall keep trying too, thou its been a few weeks and not much happening. How long was yours like it?

[@toastthelightfury]

@@IntrepidsRus ours starting moving her leg again after about a week. But if it’s been a few weeks I think yours might have Marek's Disease, which causes tumours in the nerves, and a lot of chickens unfortunately get paralysed in their legs and wings. Unfortunately there is no cure and chickens can get sores all over their body from not moving 😢
