Wobbly chicken please help she’s my favourite!!

The picture with her dropping is out of focus, but are there any worms or maggots in the area? Sorry that she is not feeling better. Is her crop emptying overnight, or is there food in it when she wakes up? She looks very weak. I would offer some electrolytes and a bit of egg. Wet feed might perk her up.

could be, does she have a wound on her head?

keep doing what Eggcessive said, maybe the b vitamines are helping... good that she eats and drinks, that way you can help her better...
the poo looks like just urites, no green/brown, question is why, is there a blockage? Has she laid an egg recently?

No egg since probably August- she isn’t a strong layer in any case but she’s just finishing her moult and my other pure breeds are coming onto lay so I wouldn’t expect she’d be far behind, their is no damage to her head and I’m confident she is eating and drinking well I’ve watched her eat about half cup of layers pellets today and I’ve given her extra fluid via syringe because I hadn’t seen her drink.

She’s gone into roost with the others now and I did notice a nasal discharge (picture below) but it could be nothing it’s only on her one nostril. I will continue the supplemented vitamins advised and my poultry tonic.

We’ve had some very cold weather here and it’s going to warm up this week so that might help her pull through. Any other suggestions?

Hello, no maggots or parasites, crop is emptying over night she is week bit at the same time when she sees me she acts her usual self eats with the others. But when they are all relaxed and preening she just stands around and I haven’t seen her preen in a while (it might just be me) but could this be a sign of anything? The walking difficulties have improved greatly since the medicine, literally over night! But they are still there and you can see the occasional flinch with her.

I have no advice to offer, just support. I'm really pulling for you - she is such a lovely lady. It's difficult to watch them decline, improve and decline again. Hoping you can isolate the root cause and get her back to healthy again.

Thank you so much she’s a very strong lady!!

Haha- and certainly hasn’t lost her sassy attitude

No white spots or plaque in her mouth.

But left eye seems to be closed lots whilst right eye is open

Seems like what your doing is helping! At the moment I would do what you do, and maybe she is just standing around to save energy..
like when we are ill and sleep a lot to get better...
I realy hope she pulls through, she`s so lovely, and it would be devastating for you to loose her... If you loose someone dear you try everything to keep that person with you a little longer...

Thank you! it might just be one of those ‘rest and recoup’ kinda problem.

I hope so!

left eye is now almost completely closed all the time

Is the nasal drainage on the left as well? Can you open the left eye and look for any bubbles or foam?
