i have an EE hen, she is walking around with her wings drooped so low that she is tripping on her left primaries. She is eating, drinking and scratching about. She moves slower than the rest of the flock and no longer roosts high in the run with her hatch mates. Her weight is good, a look-over showed no signs of obvious trauma other than she does not seem able to control her wings, when I tucked them up, they fell at her sides again. She is 15 mos old and I'm not sure if she's laying anymore.
Are there any diseases that cause this problem? I did just put a new cockerel in this house, maybe he injured her? She does have broken feathers on her back.
