Bantam standing still in corner

ok! is this also something that would cause her to fall over?

I went to get her to bring her in and get her cleaned up, she ran about two steps and collapsed and just laid there. Cleaned her up, brought her in and when I put her back she had trouble getting her footing
Worms can rob a bird of nutrients and make them weak. Whether or not they are contributing to her decline is hard to know. So many things affect chickens.

I'd check her for lice/mites, keep the vitamin therapy going. See that she's eating/drinking well. Check her crop to see that it's emptying.
Hopefully she will rally with a bit of TLC. Keep me posted.
 
ok, do the vitamins need to be chicken specific? Is this something I can buy at a store? Sorry I am scared to give her the "wrong thing"
 
Ok thanks, I got the attached at my store for now, it’s all they had

I'd also give her vitamins for a few days to see if that helps. 400UI Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily.

No, the vitamins can be human vitamins which are a bit better since you are wanting to give a higher therapeutic dose to see if they make a difference. These can be found at Walmart, CVS, etc.

If you haven't opened it, take that Homeo Vet Wrm Clear back, it's worthless, it's not a dewormer.
 
My girl is declining rapidly. I gave her vitamins in water and she laid down and isn’t walking anymore. She didn’t even go into her coop with the rest of the flock for bed time. I called a vet but not call back yet. I fear for the morning

Do the best you can giving her drops of vitamin water.
