I recently moved from my farm and had to get rid of my flock so I only kept one hen (I saved her from her mother . The hen was pecking at her it looked like she was trying to eat her so I nursed her back to health and she's been healty and spunky for 7 months now) she never really hung out with the other hens in the flock outside she was mostly indoors (her own choice). She's become a real treasure to me.
But recently she's not herself . Although we moved she still laid eggs she was still herself . But sins last week 06/06/2015 She's sleepy all day long and one moring (the same moring all this started 06/06/2015)she jumped out of her nest box and it looked like she slipt and lost her footing falling face first on the ground , at firts look I thought nothing of it untill I saw her waddling around lifting her legs really high trying to walk and only falling over when trying to walk she can stand , hold her own weight and balance herself without using her wings. Her dropings seems normal now at first it was a bit watery (for about and 1-2 hours after her accident) She was on ''bed rest'' for a day and a half and walked like usual after. She eats and drinks normally . As if today 09/06/2015 She still sleeps more than usual she takes alot of brakes sitting down or taking a nap her crop feels normal her vent is clean and has no infection she has no lumps or is hard anywhere on her body . She has lost a small amount of weight and seems sad and she's much more quiet then she usually was and sneezes alot and her eyes seem droopy and she has a scab under her one foot . She seems to be resting her legs alot.
Please help I've never seen anything like this and I have no idea what this is and I'm worried about her . All info and suggestions would be much appreciated.
The weather has recently changed dramatically from warm to cold could this have an effect on her.
