4YO Hen- thin, weak, wobbly/loses her balance

Sorry. You were wonderful though.

Update: The hen remained very still, no signs of distress but stopped eating and drinking, even if I supported her to stand. She passed quietly late yesterday. The 9 year olds seem 110% fine and lay on alternating days, so I suspect this was an internal problem not something contagious. From first nights of "roosting" on the ground instead of the roost, it was less than one week before she was gone.

Thank you for the update.

I'm very sorry to hear she died. 9years with you caring for her, she had a nice life.
I agree with you, at that age, her system may have just started shutting down or she had an internal problem. I would not think it was something contagious.
