    2 Year Old RIR Off Balance (drunk chicken)

    No new chickens have been added. I thought maybe it Marek's but she isn't getting any worse. My husband let her out by accident today and she ran. She walks and runs good, but crooked.

    2 Year Old RIR Off Balance (drunk chicken)

    Hi- I have a 2 year old RIR hen that has been off balance and walks drunk. I have separated her from flock. She is eating and drinking. Poop looks good. I am leaning towards an inner ear infection or a vitamin definancy. It has been very damp and rainy here in NC. Any thoughts or suggestions??

    Thank you. All the chickens have been wormed with Safeguard. Should I treat all the chickens with the med?

    Stumped - What is Wrong with my RIR....

    Hi- I have a RIR that is almost 2 years old that is acting off. On Saturday I noticed her laying down, her feathers ruffled and looking a bit out of it when the girls were out free ranging, but she would get up and follow them but not as quickly as usual. I took her and seperated her from the...
