Hello all! I have a maran female approx 13-14 weeks old that is not able to stand, she is shaky, panting and unable to walk. I have brought her inside to make her comfortable and ensure she stays fed and hydrated. From what I’m reading it could be vitamin deficiency, Mareks disease or kinky back. Anyone have any experience with this?

Make sure your hen is up to date on her worming. Long term worm infestation can lead to malnutrition then death.
