This happened to me. One of my girls, Lavern, was fine one day, then the next, she couldn't walk and her feet were clenched into a tight ball. I searched her entire body and the only thing I found odd was she had a sour crop. So, I started massaging her crop and began feeding her yogurt. I fixed another favorite treat, rice with eggs and cheese.
I thought for sure Lavern was going to die. I put her in another pen, for her safety as well as for the health of my other girls and Roo.
I asked my neighbor, who had many chickens of his own, and he said that here in Florida we have lots of scorpions. Many are small and would not hurt an adult but to a chicken, it could be harmful. He told me that was what happened to one of his chickens. It made sense to me because I have seen small scorpions.
This happened about 3 months ago. But, I am very happy to tell you that with all the babying and gentle massage of Lavern's feet and legs, she is once again walking.
Just be patient and hopefully your chicken will over come this.
Good luck.
One possible cause of leg paralysis in chickens could be a condition known as Marek's disease, which is a viral infection that affects the nervous system. Other potential causes could include injuries, vitamin deficiencies, or exposure to toxins. It is important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
If a baby chickens brooder is lined with newspaper, the chick's will develop a condition called spraddled leg. And it's legs wont develop properly. I line my brooder with newspaper and 2-3 inches of wood shavings. (so it is easy to clean up. I just fold the newspaper and the shavings come with it) So, that's what I highly recommend. It has worked great for me.
