i have a 10 week old brahma girl that i hatched in my incy, she is now in with the big girls, she was completely ok this morning, but i went to see them all a couple of hours ago and she is walking very weird, she is sort of shuffling from side to side,with her wings on the floor and she is sort of standing so her bottom is low to the ground, really hard to discribe, i have brought her in she is eating and drinking well, with no clear signs of injury, i dont know if one of the bigs girls have jumped on her or soomething like that. do you have any ideas, im so scared, i really wanted a girl brahma and out of the 5 eggs i had, only 3  hatched but she is the only girl.

Will she tolerate you having a good feel about to see if any of her limbs or her spine is warm? It might be that one of your bigger girls has given her a bit of a bash and knocked her for six. Just have a gentle feel to see if any of her limbs feel especially warm or she sqeals if you press anywhere. If nothing is obvious, try and keep her somewhere where she can still see her coop-mates so that she doesn't feel isolated, but where the bigger girls can't pick on her. You may want to consider whether she needs to be wormed as well - it can't hurt.

Check her again tomorrow and if she is still the same, a trip to the vet may be advisable.
