HELP!

[Red_1997]

so I recently have a broody hen who has hatched out some eggs. I noticed today she can not stand or walk. She’s very wobbly, and uses her wings to keep steady. I noticed her poop is a very light green and she is panting. Does anyone know what I should do for her?

Hopefully someone can chime in but in the meantime maybe you can go through the symptoms for these possibilities:

Additional questions:

1. How recently did she finish brooding?

2. Had she lost a lot of weight and not gained it back yet?

3. What does her crop feel like?

4. Does her abdomen look and feel normal?

Is she eating and drinking?

Can you place the chicks in a brooder with a heat source, food and water? How old are they? She can be with them, but you will need to care for her. I would feed her some mushy chick feed and give her a 1/2 tablet of super B complex orally. A chicken sling chair might be of help to get her upright and to eat. Here is a good link for designs of chicken slings, especially post 5, 11-14, and 31:
