My buff laced polish overcame what we believe to have been IB a few months ago. Since her recovery she has been doing great. Up until about a week ago. Suddenly she started developing strange symptoms. She had no balance, and when you picked her up she dropped her neck and held her head straight down. I thought maybe it was just the way she is from the IB. Then this morning when I left everyone out of the coop all the other chickens ran her over and she just laid on the ground on her side. I picked her up and set her on her feet. she dropped her neck to the left side and took off "running". Except she couldn't run straight. Her head was dropped to the left and she kept running in circles to the left side. Then she tripped over a rock, did a front flip, and just laid on the ground again. I picked her up. Looked her over and couldn't find anything unusual. Put her back down and she dropped her head to the left again and ran crooked the entire way over to the food. She's eating and drinking normal. She's lost a lot of weight and is the same size that she was when we got her at 6 weeks old. She's now about 6-7 months old. Anyone know what could cause these symptoms? I thought maybe she was blind at first but she has no problem finding the food and water.
