Chicken depressed and walking funny

[Dvalko]

I'm assuming that at 3 months, she's not laying. When you say she's walking funny, is it just that her head is tucked? That stance usually indicates she's not feeling well. Might it be coccidiosis? Is she lethargic, too?

She seems off balance and shaking when she walks. She definitely seems lethargy. I usually let them out to free range and today she mostly wanted to stay in her coop.

I would treat for coccidiosis using corid, just incase.

One of our chickens has started holding her head close to her body and just seems slightly more off balance. I noticed this a couple of days ago. She doesn’t seem to be getting physically worse but she seems to be getting a bit more depressed.
My flock is approximately 3 months old. The chick I’m referring to is the cream colored one right in front of the waterer.

Thanks! No doesn’t feel full at all.

She definitely still has control over her neck and is able to turn it around she is just holding it in.

She seems off balance and shaking when she walks. She definitely seems lethargy.

Can you get a video of her movements?

What do you feed, including treats?

Photos of poop would be good.

Re-check her crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink, let us know if it's empty/flat or still has food in it.

Work on hydration and her eating her normal feed. Get some photos of the overnight droppings.
Coccidiosis is a possibility.
Being off balance and shaking sounds neurological, but could possibly be a symptom of Coccidiosis.

Hey everyone! Bit of an update on our little Plum. I ended up asking my neighbor who has chickens for a number of years and she was adamant about a potential vitamin deficiency. After about 4 days of having vitamin la in their water she is doing a lot better. She isn’t 100% still I plan to do a bit of Corid as well just to make sure I cover my bases! Thanks for your help!
