I have a Rhode Island Red who is a bit over 3 months she looks the same as all the other hens and has no weight change. She can stand and walk but her legs tend to shake quite strongly. She also sometimes loses balance when walking with shaking legs. She has had these symptoms for about 2 weeks and it hasn't seemed to change at all. It hasn't worsened but hasn't gotten better either. None of the other hens are experiencing any problems. There is no sign of anything on her to turn to what's causing this. We don't know how this happened but she has been eating and drinking normally and still walks around all day but her legs just won't stop shaking. Her poop is also normal. We have isolated her from the other hens but we have made a pen for her to go out in the run where she can interact and socialize along with room to run around in. But where the other hens can't get to her but can come up to that fence and interact. I had just now put some rooster booster powder into her water along with administering her some PetRx poultry solution. She has the pen to run around in during the day but at night we have her in a big dog crate with hay and bedding with food and water and a pet bed she sleeps in. She has no paralysis or any changes in vision like in Marek's but I just want to know how to fix this problem she is having. We have had to keep her from the other hens because otherwise, they try to hurt her due to instinct.
