I have a three year old ISA Gold Star. Over the last 4-6 weeks she has been acting strange on and off. She will act weird for a day or two and then be normal for a few days. I don't believe she has laid an egg in over a month. I know these things don't sound major but I'm definitely worried. She seems to be drowsy frequently. All the girls will randomly "flop over" and sunbathe but she seems to be laying down way more frequently or even sleeping standing up about three times more often than she did before. She goes to bed about an hour before everyone else which is not her normal personality. She doesn't seem to have her complete balance or her sight is acting weird. I went to give her a worm today and she couldn't seem to concentrate to grab it. When I went to lock the girls in from free ranging before leaving, she walked just into the run and seemed like she just tripped and fell. She laid there for a minute and then go up and walked away slowly. I didn't think much of it. Then later in the day, when they were out, she fell forward leaving her legs behind which was very concerning. I picked her up and held her for a minute. Then set her in the coop near the water. She ate and drank but stood there for quite some time. She has been laying in the dust bathing holes frequently so I wasn't sure if she was dust bathing more or just laying there because she doesn't feel well.
I did add probiotics and electrolytes to the drinking water today. They get their normal 16-18% feed daily. They usually get a handful of a mix of BOSS, corn, oat seeds, and mealworms but it's not even daily. They are always supervised when free ranging and there's nothing she could have gotten into.
I plan to call the vet Monday morning but am concerned about what to do for the weekend.
