- when letting chickens out, noticed that one was slow & uncoordinated. Fell down; looks drunk and with low energy. Seemed to be leaning front and to the right. Stopped fully extending neck.
- Did full inspection of the chicken, no visible injury.
- We took out the food & added Apple cider vinegar to the water in case it was an impacted crop issue
- When cleaning out cage, noticed a dead mouse in base
- All other chickens seem fine
- At night, the one chicken made it back into upper coop but could not jump up to roost. Stayed standing
