Advice on a lame chicken
Dealing with a lame chicken is a real cluck-tastic challenge! It's tough seeing a feathered friend struggle, and your concern about her quality of life is admirable. This situation—a sudden onset of limping progressing to limited mobility and toe-walking—can stem from various issues, from injury to potential neurological problems. While she’s still alert and eating well, the month-long duration suggests a persistent condition. Quarantine is a good move to prevent potential spread, but providing ample space within the run is also key. Ultimately, assessing her overall happiness and ability to engage with her flock is crucial. If her mobility continues to severely limit her participation and cause distress, carefully consider her well-being.
