wobbly chicken
« on: June 20, 2017, 18:25 »
I have a ~Cotswold black tail chicken.  She was given to me as the only one to survive a fox four years ago.  She must be about 6.  She is a fantastic layer, looks a picture.  Her feathers are beautiful and none are missing.  She is the boss of the coop and puts everybody in their place.  She has as good appetite for corn and pellets.  She will kill for tinned sweet corn and has a very good appetite.  Apart from a few weeks in the winter she has laid non stop and produces a lovely large brown egg.
Lately she has wobbled when out.  Just wobbles and her wings move down to balance her.  Her legs look good and there are no blemishes on them.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what is wrong.

Are the chickens up to date with there vitamins?,is she drinking plenty of water,in this heat she may be dehydrated,
I had one like that last year,so I put all the poultry on vitamins in there water,which was poultry drink,as long as they are drinking there may be some hope you can get her back to good health,it worked for me and my birds,then a few weeks later I wormed all the birds,all are well at the moment.

Could be many things. Certainly worth considering Lillileafs suggestion. She may have had a stroke. Perhaps you should consult a vet?  :)
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!
