11 wk old BR suddenly stands like penguin

Corid dosage is 2 tsp (10 ml) of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water, as the only source of water for 5-7 days. Change it daily. I would treat all birds. Clean out visible droppings, and make sure to keep their bedding dry and stirred, and add new as needed.
So I started the big girls on Corid as well as the youngsters. Today was day 2 of Corid for the big girls. Praise report: my BR pullet is turning a corner. Eating, pecking more (instead of a dazed confused look for minutes at a time), tail is up - I’m hopeful for a full recovery for her. But today one of my oldest gals is now doing the “penguin”. This ol’ lady is almost 10 and she is the last of one of a batch that were given to me when my best friend left the state- so she very dear to me. They all are let’s be real.
Back to the Australorp. I came home from work today to find her like this (pics attached) and some recent poops I’ve found (Corid started yesterday)

Well, sorry about your 10 year old hen, but that is about the most any of mine have lived. I would just try to make her comfortable, encourage water and food, add a little scrambled egg, and check her crop to make sure it is emptying overnight. Glad that the pullet is better. Let us know how she gets along.
