Let me start by saying thanks to all of you who responded to my last query on the death of my hen. This group is a great resource.
I have a new problem. Last night when we went to put the hens to bed we had one hen who couldn't walk. She was normal in the morning and walking like she is drunk in the evening. This is the same hen that was stuck in the haystack last spring for 19 days. She is a 4 year old Buff orp. She is a good weight and has no other symptoms or obvious signs of trauma She will eat if we hold it up to her but not drink so we are mixing water in her food. I put her in a box with hay bedding to keep her warm. She is sitting there looking content and eating (with help) but makes no attemps to move. If we take her out of the box she can not stand or walk. Any suggestions?
