This happened to me. One of my girls, Lavern, was fine one day, then the next, she couldn't walk and her feet were clenched into a tight ball. I searched her entire body and the only thing I found odd was she had a sour crop. So, I started massaging her crop and began feeding her yogurt. I fixed another favorite treat, rice with eggs and cheese.

I thought for sure Lavern was going to die. I put her in another pen, for her safety as well as for the health of my other girls and Roo.

I asked my neighbor, who had many chickens of his own, and he said that here in Florida we have lots of scorpions. Many are small and would not hurt an adult but to a chicken, it could be harmful. He told me that was what happened to one of his chickens. It made sense to me because I have seen small scorpions.

This happened about 3 months ago. But, I am very happy to tell you that with all the babying and gentle massage of Lavern's feet and legs, she is once again walking.

Just be patient and hopefully your chicken will over come this.

Good luck.

Why does scruffing a cat paralyze them?

Scruffing a cat can cause them to become temporarily paralyzed because it triggers a natural instinct called the "scruff reflex." This reflex is present in many animals, including cats, and causes them to become still and relaxed when pressure is applied to the skin on the back of their neck, mimicking how a mother cat would carry her kittens.
