Centrachid, I think you nailed it. After three days on Tylan (1.5 ml trice daily) she is not running in circles. Still staggering a bit, but a world of improvement. Thanks so much for your diagnosis!
Has anyone ever had a hen that ran in circles? I'm caring for a silky hen for a good friend who is out of town. It just started running in circles a few days ago. could it be going blind?
I have a 2 yr old golden comet hen who obviously has a respitory infection she is sneezing, wheezing and drooling, but she also has one foot and one cheek that are swolen. Could these be from the other infection?
I think it's more likely she sustained a nerve injury in the neck by another chicken. I've had similar problems before, mostly with roosters, and it takes a while for them to get normal again. Keep her safe.

Do you have netting on top, if not, possible hawk attack. They sometimes bit off head before eating rest of bird. Maybe you surprised before it could finish? That's all I can think of.
Hello chicken lovers. I have a silkie rooster that has blisters on his neck and under his wings That look like poison ivy. Took him to the vet, and the vet put him on 0.6 m/l of Trisuprim twice a day. The blisters dried up and fell off, but now they're coming back. He's also loosing feathers...
