    Hen can't walk or move

    I have a roughly 3/12 or 4 year old hen who has suddenly stopped moving. Two days ago I found her stumbling around in her coop while the others were roosting for the night, looking around as if she couldn't see well and walking into walls and stumbling. Yesterday she acted fine. This morning I...

She stopped to walk overnight, without a limping phase or whatnot, I don’t know if she was hiding some symptoms so not to look weak. My...
