PLEASE HELP MY CHICKEN CAN’T STAND

[garlandchickens]

My 3 month old chicken just started falling on her side when she tries to walk and she seems like she’s drunk. She was just talking a dust bath, and then couldn’t stand or move around easily. She just waddles and falls on her side. She doesn’t sound like she’s in pain and she’s eating, but her feathers are all dirty from the dirt and her wings are flat against her side. Her tail is also not sticking up. She is an EE.
Please help us!

**UPDATE**
She seems ok now, we think she was weighed down from all the dirt. She was bathing for 15+ minutes. She is also small as she’s only 3 months and after she shook all the dust out she was ok. We also just moved her into a different pen, and maybe she ate something weird? She pooped—maybe she was constipated.

I would keep an eye on her. They can scare you to death when you find them dust bathing. Can you offer some water in case she is dehydrated? Does she have any food in her crop?

She was already about to go to bed and we will keep an eye on her tomorrow. Thanks for the input.

Let us know if she is still showing any signs of imbalance or trouble standing.

She seems fine today, and she was only messed up for about 15 minutes last night. Thanks for all the help!
