In the Brooder
So, I have a 6 week old hen named Cupcake and is a barred plymoth rock I got from a farm store when she was a chick. She has been healthy her whole life until recently one of our roosters got really sick with gapeworm so we dewormed the whole flock. That was a few days ago and we thought it was okay and out of nowhere I noticed she sometimes had her right eye shut. All the others seem fine so I took her out of the coop and she's in a tub by herself with food and water. She's very lethargic and barely does anything. When she tries to stand or walk she falls over. At first it was just her right foot- I would notice her toes curled and now I think it is both feet. I have done a lot of reading and considered different reasons as to why this might be happening but I still don't know what to do. I have been holding her a lot which she loves. She makes little sounds that sound like cooing (cat purr?) but she cries when I leave her alone. Today I tried to let her run in the grass but she just kept falling so I picked her back up. I have given her vitamin B and C and today she ate some strawberries and blueberries. I just don't know what to do at this point if I should just keep an eye on her or take her to a vet. Any advice I would appreciate. She is a very sweet chicken and I don't want her to get worse.
