So I have a chicken (her name is Reddie) and she was totally fine until one night about I can’t remember exactly maybe two weeks ago, and i noticed she had a small crook in her neck. I knew this was wry neck, so I gave her the vitAmin E and eggs. The next morning she woud not get up. She would stand and the just lean and fall over. now she just sits in her cage, kicking her legs and she won’t get up. She is very interested in food and water still as well.


Also I have another chicken who 3 days ago layed an egg and passed out I think because I saw her on the ground, feet up and kickin, and there was an egg on her tAil. I picked her up and she was a little wobbly but fine. She had previously laid an egg about ₄ months ago and passed out too. Today she was staying away from the flock but still eats and drinks.
 
Were your chickens vaccinated for Mareks disease? What are you feeding them? Can you start some human vitamin E 400 IU, and human B complex 1/2 tablet daily for the affected chickens? The one who had the wry neck needs the E mostly. Wry neck and lameness or losing balance can be signs of Mareks, but injuries, vitamin deficiencies, or eating moldy food could be other possibilities.
