Falling over and not able to get back up does not sound related to a wing injury. That sounds like something else.

Is she using the wing to try to stabilize herself like a crutch? That likely isn't a wing injury but a balance issue.

Birds with a wing injury may have a droopy wing, but they run around just fine. They simply can't fly or flap well.

We would need to know more information such as age, how suddenly this came on, any other appearance of illness.

It could be anything from vitamin deficiency, weakness due to severe anemia from worm overload (usually stop laying at that point), or illness such as Marek's or MS.

Again, we'd need to know more information.

To tell the truth age, I really dont know.I got here in Aug 17 Along with 3 other hens . She seems fine ,but seems thin I can feel her breast bone thru all her feathers. Eyes look clear. I thought maybe our pup 8 wks might of chased her. What can I ck for?? I do give them acv and garlic . I have her in a lg cage with my 4 wk old chs. Should I move her by her self??? One other of the hens a very some one did die about4 months ago I think she was egg bond. I did the bath with her but it didnt work But im not she if that was it I just did what I read. Is there a way to tell age on chicken??? I know I hear my dad saying in my head never learn anything if you dont ask questions. Thanks Jan
