Hi All!
We just got our girls 2 weeks ago from a breeder and over the past week I've noticed our light standard brahma has started to have balance issues. All our girls are different breeds with the same hatch date and were kept together. None of the others exhibit any of her symptoms. She loses balance easily when the others touch her. She prefers to squat or lay in the brooder. She does eat, drink, poop and seems to be interested in scratching if the others are doing it but if she stands still she is very wobbly. She also appears to not extend her legs up to a full standing position. We inspected her today and can't see any visible injury to her legs and there is no known trauma she may have experienced. She doesn't appear to be in pain. They are all on medicated feed and have been vaccinated for Mareks. We have no idea what to do for her. Any help is greatly appreciated!
