For the past 3 years I have lost pullets and chickens exhibiting symptoms like they are drunk. No particular age, from several months to years old. No particular breed, breeds from 3 different hatcheries now. They seem to loose ability to use their legs and some move their head like they are dizzy and disoriented. Within a few days of exhibiting these systems they DIE! All my flock are free range in NE Montana and when the snow comes they are held captive in coop till they can get out to forage again so I cant see it being anything they are eating out there. It always one bird at a time randomly and then everything is good for several months so its not a mass flock disease just random.
