I had a hen do something similar. She needed to us here wings for balance. Kind of looked drunk, lethargic. She would eat but when I felt under her, the keel was very prominent. Turned out she had crop impaction and wasn't getting enough nutrients. Vet had to do a minor procedure on her...

Thank you. What kind of netting would be good? I mentioned to my husband for us to get a little cam last night. I appreciate the recommendation to Walmart. Her sisters were all around her when I found her, nudging her to try to get her to get up.
