grracee Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I've noticed that one of my buff orps has got a really bad limp today. She's always had abit of a limp since i got her before xmas but since dinner time today its been really bad. I don't know what i can do to help her with it? I've had a good look over her leg and it seems fine but theres a little voice in my head saying 'mareks' have read a little about it and it says that there is paralysis of legs etc. I know it's probably just a limp but how would i know if it was mareks and what would i do? My older three chickens have been vaccinated against it before i brought them but i dont know about my orps, i got them from the Gobbett Rare Breeds Farm and not sure whether they had been vaccinated? Going to keep a close eye on her for the next couple of days and if it still doesnt get any better i'll have to find a good vet as the local vets here is terrible. I'm probably just worrying over nothing, i hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 She has probably just sprained something. Mine do it all the time. I'd just see how she goes for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
