Becky, how is your pullet?

She is a little better maybe, less falling over, still staggering and unsteady. I didn't really get any good answers here on Byc. I started her on vitamins, in her water, bc she won't take them right from the dropper, actually spit it out! Feisty girl. Not sure when, if and how to reintroduce her to the flock again.

One of my pullets is doing something similar. Noticed it 2 days ago. She is unsteady on her feet, moves slower than the others, sits more often yet eats and drinks. I have in the brooder pen with some company.

How old is your pullet? Mine is about 10 weeks old now.

I sent my girl back to the flock this weekend, doesnt seem to be staggering anymore, she has rejoined them with no difficulty.

Yay! Great news. I have another one that is wobbly/slow mover, puffed out and sitting alot. Will keep an eye on them.

Best wishes for you and your flock!
