duchess Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hi there. One of my Sebright bantams has a droopy wing. It is literally dragging along the floor. Could it be broken? She is otherwise fine and eating and drinking normally and is her usual alert self. She is approx 16 weeks old. Is there anyway I could strap the wing up at all? Any info or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Does she seem under the weather in any other way? One side drooping can be a sign of some more sinister things such as Mareks. Hopefully it is just a bad wing, but just want to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duchess Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Thanks for your reply. She's absolutely fine otherwise so hopefully it's not Mareks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I would have said the same as SC Sebrights are a terribly Mareks prone bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
