i have a 1-1/2 year old silkie hen who i noticed tonight was staggering, having trouble walking. i went to pick her up and she fell over, legs sprawled. i got her up and felt all over. i do not feel any lumps, bumps or breaks. She is staggering walking, using her wings for balance. Her mouth is open a bit, panting, probably as i am paying so much attention to her.
i checked her vent and i can see a bit of her intestines, but she is not prolasped. i do not feel anything abnormal in her stomach, such as internal laying. Not sure what else to check. All chicken docs in the neighborhood are closed right now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
