Walking weird

[Jrchik0624]

I have this 4-5 yr old hen that is walking weird. Her feet are facing inwards and she sometimes walks crooked. Shes had issues before where she needed more calcium in order to walk but this time she looks different. She also does wierd noises like if she was uncomfortable. What can I do?

Could she be vitamin deficient? What's her diet?

Try the Kalmbach 17% layer. She may be low in calcium.

Her tail is down so she's not feeling well.

Do you know her breed? Just guessing if she's a production RIR, their average age is 6, so she might be up in her elderly years.

Has she been laying eggs?

I'd try putting her, and all of them if you have more, vitamin water every other day for a couple of weeks and see if that helps her. We use Poultry Cell or Nutri-Drench. If you have some B-Complex, you could give her a half of one of those for a couple of weeks too. It might make her feel better too.
