Chicken seems to have balance issues

[UkuleleLady]

Oh and it seems that she's not as skinny as I thought she was. The vet did say she was on the thin side but didn't think she was dangerously skinny. I am new to chickens. I guess I just don't know what thery're really supposed to feel like. I also suspect that my other chicken is a little on the portly side!

The vets thinks it's an injury and prescribed ibuprofen

Please give us an update on her condition after some treatment. I really hope she starts to improve.

Thank you. Me too. I am really becoming quite fond of her.

I am very happy to report that she is doing better today. The ibuprofen seems to be helping. She is still sitting some but she's up and around way more today.

She's doing better today. I am relieved. I also am now worried that I caused this with using a concrete block as a step for my chickens to get up to the perch I made for them. I noticed when she jumped down from the perch onto the concrete block she seemed to flinch a little like it hurt maybe and I remembered that you don't want to dance on or run on, or jump on to anything that's concrete as a person, it's probably no different for chickens. So now I'm looking for something made out of wood that will replace the concrete step. I have a tree stump. Just gotta figure out how to move it without hurting myself!
