Hiya, weve got a 12 week old light sussex chicken, the last few days she hasnt seemed to have as good balance on her legs as normal and today she cant jump atall and cant stand on 1 leg, she looses balance and falls over. What could be wrong?

Is it eating & drinking??

Sorry can't be more help, i'm sure someone will be along soon who knows alot more than me

Keeping fingers crossed all will be ok

Probably a viral infection from which she should recover if you keep her eating and drinking.

Keep an eye on her for any changes or other symptoms.

Was she vaccinated for Marek's as a chick :?:
