I came home from town and my retarded chickens head was upside down! I held it up for her and forced her to drink water. What else can I do? What do you think is wrong with her? I'm trying to post a video but don't know how??
 
I am so sorry.
You can upload a video to Youtube and then link it here.
 
I’m sorry but ‘retarded chicken’ ?
Post a picture of her so we can give our thoughts and opinions on what the problem is.
 
Can you bring her inside and continue to offer her plain water?
Don't force the water...you don't want to "drown" her.
 
It sounds like possible wry neck or torticolis. It is a neurological symptom of vitamin E deficiency, head injuries, heredity, or seen in some diseases, such as Mareks and other infectious diseases. Most people give vitamin E, selenium, and some thiamine to treat it. I would mix some chicken feed with a lot of water (just a small bowl,) add some chopped egg, and feed it to her several times a day. Selenium is found in egg, tuna, nuts, and sunflower seeds.
 
Me thinks this is one of the sick birds OP just bought recently.
The sister is the blind one.
My guess is Marek's disease is showing it's final ugly stages.

She is much better now. But still is walking in a circle again. Then just sits. Should I keep her separate from the others?
