I have a year old Wyandotte who keeps falling over. When I stand her back up, she seems to be a little wobbly for the first step, but then fine. She walks around fine, but holds her tail and wings a little lower than usual. Sometime she walks for 5 minutes before falling to the side again. Sometimes it's a few hours. Sometimes it's to the side, sometimes she is just sitting normally. She eats and drinks normally. Her poo seems normal. I have researched different diseases and illnesses but nothing seems to line up with her. She has no external parasites which I can see. Her legs and feet are fine. Her comb is red, probably more of a dark red compared to my other chooks. She's not laying, but also has never been a reliable layer anyway.
I am thinking a vitamin deficiency, but then why are none of my other chooks in the same way? They are all free range. She has been like this for a week, but in saying that, about 3 weeks ago, I found her laying on her back, but seemed fine when I stood her back up.
I have been feeding her vitamin B and E rich foods, banana, peas, spinach, sunflower seeds, pepitas. But I haven't seen any real change in her for the last week. I haven't had a chance to get to a fodder store (I live out of town) to get vitamins for her, but unless anyone has any other ideas, that will be my next move.
Thanks!
