Chicken keeps tipping over!!!!

[peeps7]

My grandma has a hen that won't stand up. When she starts to walk she tips over. What could be wrong with her?

 

[Frozen Feathers]

It could be a lot of things. A leg/foot issue, or a mental issue. Is she eating, drinking, pooping? Runny eyes, nose? Does she seem alert?

 

[peeps7]

She didn't drink any sugar water but she seems pretty alert.

If she starts to do somthing like the following-- drop head between legs backs up and falls over
then it could be crookneck. Brain inflamation. Get her to the vet for some prednisone. If you need more help or info on this let me know. I have delt with this a few times with my silkie chickens of different ages with great results.

She didn't get in your grand father's corn jug, did she?

Not really tring to be funny, but if they eat corn that has started to frement, they will act drunk.

I was visiting my grandma and I'm home now so I don't know if she died or not. Now I'm back home with my own healthy chickens.

Thanks for the advice tho.
