Easter egger, one year old, 5lbs
Waddling around like a penguin, drooped wings sometimes, tail pointed down, shes not lethargic. She's been experiencing these symptoms for a week now, she's eating and drinking fine, stool looks normal. No sign of trauma, no bleeding, nothing broken. No other birds experiencing this issue. Feeding her layer feed, fruits/vegetables, adding ground shells for extra calcium.
We Thought she was eggbound, gave her 1/4ML of antibiotics, warm epson salt bath, nothing changing. Closest vet for birds is over 2 hours away, would prefer to just treat at home, if possible. I added a photo of her posture. She was in with other chickens but is now quarantined. Bedding was pine shavings in a basic fenced coop.
