Hi everyone! I am new to raising backyard chickens and have raised my hens from chicks and they are now about 20 weeks old. I discovered one of my hens passed away this morning - I have no clue of the cause. Tonight another one of my hens is having a hard time balancing on her roost and has her legs spread on either side as if she was doing the splits. I noticed her butt was a bit dirty so my husband and I cleaned her up. When I sat her back down in the coop she seemed to have a hard time walking. She finally hopped up to a roost and had a hard time balancing and her legs immediately spread to either side again. I am worried...and not sure what I should do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
