Hello all new here I decided to join as I haven't had much luck all over Internet just wanted double check with you guys and see what else it could be. Firstly I'm looking after 7 hens for my grandparents they went away last week. I know one is a polish bantam but not clued up to be honest. On the first day of feeding them i noticed one of the hens was like sat down in a corner slightly on its side and this is normally one that pecks. I thought nothing of it. Came back next day and it was on its back with legs in air and i thought it was dead but realised it was moving. So i picked her up took her outside n have her her own food /water incase it had been like that all night. She ate n drank.. It walked normal but her wings were like low to the floor unlike the others and looked drunk basically no other way to describe it. She then fell on her back again 3/4 times in 10 minutes. It's now day 5 since it happened and everyday same thing. I've been taking her out to make sure she gets food /water. There is also a LOT of poo stuck to the bum. More than normal.. Can that stop eggs being produced? What could it be? I really don't want her suffering. Any help or advice is appreciated. And my apologies for lack of knowledge.
