    My chicken has weakness in her legs and won't stand.

    i found mine the same way, took a week to find out she has a tape worm. after a week of solitude and rest with extra protein food, vitamin b water and a dose of Zimecterin Gold, she is back to walking. Before I found out the tape worm I explored the possibility of her being egg-bound, Mareks...

    PLEASE HELP!! small white worms in poop

    here's a pic of her funny little self. she's the top chick out of our little flock and when the three other girls went to bed they were all over the place. It seemed they didn't know what to do with our Roberta to lead them to bed. I wonder if they missed her today.

    One droopy wing, trouble balancing and legs seem weak

    Eggcessive, You seem to know quite a bit about diagnosing chickens. Please help me with my Roberta. Yesterday I found her in a small area where the girls lay and egg or two once in a while, (when the nesting boxes have a too long of a line, and she doesn't want to wait, is my guess) but...
