Sick chicken help

[SirFluffyHoss]

i have a hen who doesnt not have normal sickness symptoms like sneezing, snot, or coughing etc. she is pale and has horrible balance and is VERY slow. she will fall down alot when walking. but she still eats, drinks, and goes to the bathroom regularly. but she desnt lay eggs any more. this all was very abrupt and didnt gradually happen. here are some pictures. if you have any insight please help. thanks.

I hope she gets better. The only time I saw similar symptoms in one of my chickens was during a heat wave. Could she be suffering from being overheated. I know this week it has been brutal here. Are her droppings very loose? How about trying some unflavored pedialyte instead of her water. When any of my pets are ill I usually give the system a break from food and I introduce pedialyte and I contain them away from the others in a quiet cool area. Luckily, they usually bounce back in a day, if not then I seek vet care. I know we have an avian vet in our area. Maybe you can search for one in your area.

It sounds like lice and mites, but first off take her away from the rooster for a while to give her a break, she is being over treaded. Give her a good dusting of mite and lice powder and isolate her in a clean area with food and water. Give any other birds she is kept with a good dusting of mite and lice powder as well because they spread very easily. Give her some ACV and crushed garlic to boost her immune system. The Pooey bum is also a sign of worms, I am not sure what wormer is available in your country but give her some of what ever it is. It mite help to give her a good bath the clear off the feathers as well and help her get better

she hasn't been around roosters, back in the winter one of his roosters was brutal to her and her feathers have never grown back from that rooster

She may be egg bound, or possibly have gleet. Do a search at the top of the page and compare your pics.
