I have a one year old Bourbon Red hen that I thought injured her wing, as it was slightly drooping. Upon inspection, there was no sign of injury, and thought it may be a tendon issue. Each day her wing drooped more, now four days in, and now she's having difficulty walking. She was separated, but now I have her confined.
Does anyone have ANY suggestions, or experience with this? Droppings are normal, eating and drinking normally.
She is the underdog of her group, so I'm wondering if she's got a deficiency? I've never seen anything like this in any of my turkeys. She was perfectly healthy until four days ago. Even when her wing started drooping she was still able to fly. She's getting progressively worse every day. Almost slow botulism-like symptoms, minus the hanging head.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit- She is totally alert, friendly as always, it's almost as if her body is giving out on her.
