For a couple of months now we had our 10 month old silkie pullet in our house because she couldn't walk. She is negative of mereks she has no diseases. After a while she got her balance and walked. But, then heat happened. She lost her balance again and back inside she went. People in my family are saying it's time to put her down. She eats like a pig and drinks all day. I give her a mixture of eletros and probiotics. she gets spring water thats cold all day. Her room is heated and she loves she eats bugs outside. I give her scrambled eggs. I think she is weak. HELP She loves to talk and try to walk LOL

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about your Pullet:( If she's eating and drinking awesome! If she wasn't then not so awesome. Have you tried setting her outside and seeing if she wants to eat grass or just sit in the sun? It's good to get their muscles to start working or they will become severely weak. It's so strange that she was able to recover then fall back down.

If she wasn't eating and drinking, then I'd say put her down, but she's doing great! So I suggest not.

Maybe try bringing another hen to come play with her outside? Hope she gets up soon:)
 
Sadly we only have 2 other hens at that moment one of them attacks her because a she high ranking and the other is her mother who is broody with 2 fertile eggs. Our 2 roosters do like but don't play. Hopefully some of the chicks will play.
