When I came home from work this morning and took some feed into the henhouse, I opened the door she flew I think from one of the roost and landed at my feet, jerking and shuddering and flapping her wings, then all of the sudden she stiffened up legs straight out behind her and was laying flat on her belly and chest ,neck straight out in front of her then she bent her neck all the way back to her back I thought she was dead, I picked her up and was talking to her, actually telling her not to die on me! I did see her eyes dialate and she was alive. I held her cause I didn't know what else to do! Any way she stayed stiff for about 5mins. I think and then started to close her eyes and her body relaxed. I put her down and she was having trouble with keeping her balance. so I kinda steadied her alittle after about 5 mins she got up and went and ate some food, she is acting fine now but she wouldn't go out side with the others she just went and set down under the lean too thing in the coop I set up so the younger chicks would have somewhere to hide from the bigger chicks if they were harrassed by them. So what happened to her? and will it happen again, she has always been perfectly healthy I thought?
What can I do for her to make sure it doesn't happen again, I hope she will be alright! Thanks in advance! Sandy
