    Chicken not walking or moving

    I noticed yesterday late afternoon that one of my girls wasn't moving. She was still eating and drinking but if I put her on her feet she would spread her wings out a bit and lay back down. I called the vet right away but unfortunately nobody is available until after the 4th of July (Wednesday)...
