3 year old chicken just started this behaviour this morning. She was fine last night. I have vet appointment tomorrow morning. Is there anything I can do for her now. Is she going to make it until tomorrow? Thank you in advance for any help/advice.

Is she the one with Tapeworms? Did you begin treating her for those?

What do you feed?

Not sure what's going with her, it looks neurological, hopefully the vet visit will be helpful in figuring out treatment.

She is not the one with Tapeworms. I treated for that and the mites. Everyone has been happy and appearing healthy.
I ended up taking her to the emergency vet yesterday. They think there was something in her crop and manipulated it until something broke loose. She was still acting a little strange yesterday but woke up appearing completely fine today.

I'm glad you were able to see that vet and they were able to help her.
Hopefully she's made a complete recovery.
