Previously Healthy Chicken Now Can't Stand and Falls Backwards and Doesn't Move

[missoulamomma]

Does you hen free range? Does she have any unidentifiable marks on her skin? (I know it's tough to look under every feather). Does she EAT her grit? (Crazy question I know but I have grit everywhere and have still lost birds to impacted gizzards). Do you have roosters? And maybe I missed it but what breed of chicken?

PS how is her weight?

Thanks for join in the thread bird-brain. She has been free range until a couple of weeks ago. The grass was getting destroyed to the point of nothing, so I created a temporary side run, in addition to the run attached to the coop, until the grass recovers a bit. I cannot see any marks on her skin. I don't know about the grit. There are 6 hens total and I haven't watched to see if everyone of them is eating it, one by one. I can keep an eye out for that. No roosters. And she's an Americana, roughly 3 1/2 to 4 years old, with what I would argue is the most amazing personality ever seen in a chicken (but I guarantee I'm not the only one to say that!). Last time I was out there with her she still had her personality about her.
