Tipsy Pullet

[LoveMySiouxsie87]

My 19 week old pullet has been having some issues. She weighs very little and has bad balance. A few days ago I discovered that she had lice/mites and dusted her and the others with Sevin dust. Her bugs seem to be gone but she is still very tipsy and lethargic.
I checked on her and then hopped in the shower and when I got out I went to Check on her again and she was laying almost upside down in the coop and I thought she must be dead.
I bent over and she was alive and looking normal. I picked her up and set her on her legs and she walked over to the food and started eating it.
None of the other hens have been bothering her. I have no idea what is going on or what I should do.
Ideas?

How hot is it? Could there be a heat problem? Can you give her some electrolytes or sugar water to jump start her?

I just recently had this happen to one of my hens also. I gave her electrolytes because it has been HOT here. She slightly improved over about a week. I think what happened was that she got a head injury from the goats. Could your hen have gotten injured? Anyway a skunk got my girl about 3 nights ago so I don't know if she would have gotten back to "normal".
