Sorry haven't seen anything like this before except in one hen I bought and then had to put down.

Do you have poop pictures?

Sadly, I lean Mareks disease. Hopefully I am wrong.

The poop picture looks like the normally white urates are coral or pink, which can be normal at times, especially overnight. If there is blood in the actual poop, then it never hurts to treat with Corid if you suspect coccidioisis. I recently treated a hen who lost balance for 5 weeks. She had good leg strength and usually could stand, but would fall backward or sideways after taking 2-3 steps. Then suddenly she got up and walked and has not stopped since, although she wobbles some.

So, it may be Mareks, but I feel like giving them a chance to get better, especailly since I have never seen Mareks before in my flock. Make sure that she can get to food and water. Think about using a sling if she will tolerate it. Try vitamins, and offer her usuall feed with some egg or tuna for extra protein.

Hey Flock.... My sweet Junie baby is super unbalanced and wobbly. I have checked out her entire body, and I cannot find anything wrong on the outside... Which worries me.. please help ASAP! Thank you all In advance, I really hope that she doesn't have something serious .....the first thing that came to my mind was Marecks

Sorry! I forgot to put age, she is 1 year old... So not splayed leg.

she is kinda just fiddling with her food, so not sure how much she is getting down... Also on one note, I have not seen any worms, but the feces in some members of the flock seem to be pink and reddish. I have asked on BYC several times, but everyone said it was normal I assumed it is Cocci... But people said it isn't.

I'm sorry that your hen is not doing well.


Unbalanced and wobbly, if you can get a video of that - upload to youtube and provide a link.
There's so many things it could be, I would do as suggested by Eggcessive, see that she's eating/drinking. When did she last lay an egg?
