Title: Help with chicken please - urgent
Post by: wyandotty on June 05, 2009, 07:00
I went to let the hens out yesterday and one of the bantams can't stand up at all.   When she tries to move she waddles and falls over.  I have checked her ears, legs, vent and generally all over and can't find anything wrong.  Her droppings are normal and she is eating and drinking and her face is bright red but she is not eggbound as she laid later in the date.  Her worming is up to date and she has been powdered recently.

Can anyone help, she is a wyandotte bantam.

How old is she Wyandotty?

When you say she is eating, is she eating as normal or does she seem uninterested and just having an odd peck about?
