I have a microflock of 3 leghorn pullets, one red sex linked, one rhode island red and one barred rock. This morning one of the leghorns was unable to stand at all. She acts like she is semi paralyzed and is now just sprawled on her side. The second leghorn is walking like she is drunk. I cannot find any odd plants they may have eaten nor do I see any potential poision from neighboring yards.
I don't know what to do to help them. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms in their birds and do you have any suggestions?
Your help is appreciated!

i dont have any thing to help im afraid, the only thing i came across when looking for things for my bird was marek's disease. This seems to only be in young birds though and i hope yours dont have that. Goodluck and i hope they get better soon

It sounds very serious.  Were they vaccinated when you bought them?
