HELP
I called my vet and the bird dr. wont be in tell later today, so I need some help in the mean time or at least a little piece of mind knowing what could be wrong.
I have a hen who this morning when I went out to the coop, she was laying on her side, feet in the air not moving! When she heard me she started kicking her feet and trying to stand up. I helped her up and she just fell over. Her feet seem fine and seem to be working right, her rings look tensed up but don't look broken. I have no idea what could be wrong with her. Her eyes look clean and bright and her head is moving around like nothing is wrong. But she just keeps falling over and always to her left right. Anyone have any idea what could possibly be wrong with her?
I could not find any wounds or cuts or anything anywhere on her body.
The other hens didn't seem to be bothering her when I went in, she where all on the other side of the coop from her.
We don't know how old his hen is, as she was the hen that just "appeared" in our coop one day. My partner thinks she is just old and dieing but I'm not so sure. She is at least older then 2 yrs old. She is an Easter Egger.
