I have a 2 yr old Australorp hen that is going through a severe molt. I'm talking nearly naked!. She is also having what I think are balance problems. She tends to walk to one side as she's moving forward and appears to lose her balance at times and will just sit down.
I have separated her in a large dog crate as she was being picked on by the other hens. She is eating and drinking normally. Seems okay otherwise.
I'm worried about the walking sideways? Is balance an issue with a severe molt?
