New chicken owners. 8 month old Spitzhauben appeared “ wobbly when standing and walking. Come out one morning and she was laying down covered in poop. Brought her in- she had diarrhea for 2 days but gone now- eating and drinking fine but not standing on her own , or if she does stand she’s wobbling again. She’s still inside . The others are perfect. Any ideas?
 
Welcome to BYC

What do you feed, including treats?
Any lice/mites?
When was her last egg?
Was she vaccinated for Marek's?
Any signs of being injured or attacked - checked for bruising, scrapes, cuts, etc.?

You can try vitamin therapy to see if that helps. Give her 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily along with a treat of egg for the uptake of E. See that she's eating a nutritionally balanced poultry feed.
