Ok, so this pullet is particular is a white easter egger that is 10 weeks old. She was perfectly fine before but about 2 days ago she started walking funny and then stopped walking almost altogether. She has started splaying and does not eat very much. She keeps rolling on her back and not...

One of my 4 year old chickens died today. She had been getting slower so it wasn't a surprise. Her name was Chickadee. I am sad. Rest in peace, girl.
