sick chicken

i had a chicken who kept losing her balance and stopped eating she was like it for 1 day and then died, all the others fine, today 3 weeks later i have another chicken showing the same symptoms sleeping all the time losing her balance not eating or drinking, does anyone know what the problem is.

How old are your chickens Rita? X

Don't jump to conclusions Rita you need to get a proper diagnosis from a vet.

Your old girl being 6 could have gone at any time it could just be coincidence. 

There are also other problems which cause nervous system problems including food poisoning (Botulism) which will clear up if the source of toxin is removed, Algae poisoning though it's rare in chx and is very fast acting with birds dieing within minutes of drinking toxin. 

Were there any other symptoms you noticed like spasms or twisted neck or splayed legs, pale comb, grey eye or irregular shaped iris for example. Without a positive diagnosis no one can predict what might happen.

You need to keep your birds under observation and any which show symptoms take to a vet.

That doesn't sound like Mareks which has more nervous system problems like spasms uncoordination, splayed legs twisted neck etc.  If it isn't that's good news. You have wormed these birds haven't you as often foamy yellow droppings are a sign of a bad worm disorder.  If so what product did you used Flubenvet I hope.

Sorry about your hens Rita

Not all honeysuckle varieties are toxic, but unless your hens were eating a LOT of berries it wouldn't likely do much harm other than a bit of a stomach upset.

Mine are quite picky about what they eat, but don't necessarily stay away from the stuff that's bad for them.

thank you for all your help, i only hope my other girls will stay healthy, i scrubbed out their house with jays fluid as it said it will kill bird flu and others things so i thought i would give it a go, i always poo pick there house every day and clean it out every 3rd day.
i have been giving them cider vinegar in there water, extra vits.

You're doing all you can Rita and obviously caring for them so if things are going wlll I wouldn't get worried.
Jeyes fluid is a reasonable disinfectant to use.  I don't think you need over do the cleaning.  Your birds will not be suffering from bird flu.  I also doubt that honeysuckle would be a problem.

Best wishes
