    6 month old pullet suddenly cannot walk or stand! Need advice!

    OMG, Someone asked about her comb, it is flopped over. We didn't know why, thought there was something odd about it. It has been that way for a couple months. She is the only chicken that has that and she's now the only one who can't walk/stand. Are they related? What is it? What should I do?
