unbalanced

Can anyone help me or give me some advice? My 5 year old Jumbo Pekin came out of the coop she shares with her 3 year old sister this morning unable to walk or balance herself and outstretching her wings to guide her back down to the ground to sit. She has been quacking and responsive, eating and...

My 4 year old chicken Goldie was unable to walk so I brought her in to check her out. I don’t see any noticable injuries to her legs or feet. When she stands she immediately loses her balance and tips over. I was watching her last night while she napped and it’s like her head wouldn’t stay...

I have a flock of 7 birds. 2 Amberlink 3 Plymouth Rock 2 Blue Laced Wyandotte. One of my Wyandotte has recently started acting strange. Well, let me preface that by saying she has traditionally been the strangest of the bunch. She often gets broody, doesn't like to come near when we feed her...

Hi there, new chicken mom here hoping to receive some insight on what could be going on and possibly a way to help. I stalked this forum for the past 2 weeks but now I think I need to just make my own post about this. I have a 16 day old chick who from the day I received her (3 days old then)...

We have a young Tom that seems dizzy/unbalanced since yesterday. His tail feathers seem a bit unkept. He has been eating grass seeds in our field and did seem to eat okay this morning. We can’t figure out what could be going on. He is on a property that has ducks, chickens, goats, and pigs. Our...

I have a 3 month old Aylesbury duck. She used to walk fine but now she keeps losing her balance. She can stand, she stands all day but once she starts walking she falls all over the place, its to the point where she could injure herself, she falls and hits her head on the wall of the cage, she...

I have a Rhode Island Red hen who is about 4 years. I moved about a year ago and unfortunately i lost 2 female ducks to predators we didn’t know were around. That left my one male duck with my flock of hens. He has shown a lot of interest in my Rhode Island Red hen, Lucy, and started trying to...

My 6 month old laced Wyandotte hen (1 of 4 from same flock- other 3 are fine) cannot stand on her feet and doesn't appear to have wing or leg injuries. I have watched her decline for 5 days, but she's still hanging in there taking water from a syringe and eating when food is placed in front of...

Help! I have a chicken who was acting strange last night. She hasn’t started laying and is 6/7 months old. Around 5PM I noticed she was more on edge than usual, she was darting everywhere and her feathers seemed a little wet on her breast and under her chin and she just looked almost bewildered...

We have a rooster, he is about a year old, he grew up with his brother and sometimes they got in fights. I don't know if he hit is head but he is unbalanced, i posted about him a while back, but today we thought, which leads me to my post, can chickens have inner ear infections? Just wondering...

we have a rooster, now a year old, he grew up with his mom and his brother, once his brother threw him around in their hen house and i am not sure if he hit his head when he was young, but he is always unbalanced. We had to take him out of his coop because there our two rooster liked jumping on...

Hi! My chicken has had an issue with the "wobble" x3 days now. Monica goes to walk and acts as if she's drunk, she tries to balance with her wings but ultimately lays on her "knees". She is about 4.5 months old. I've separated her and monitor her closely. She's still eating and drinking plenty...

My rooster is unable to balance and when I checked him over I found lice. After checking all the girls he’s the only one with bugs. We treated everyone with DE and cleaned the coop and spayed with Poultry Protection spray, new straw and sprinkled DE everywhere. Why would he have LOTS (LOTS!!!)...

Hi, I apologize for talking about quail but I believe this problem can also happen in chickens? I have two quails that are about a week old. There was a third one that died suddenly. He started to huddle up in a corner, his eyes closed and head droopy. He would even do this in my hand. His...

I'm fairly new to raising hens, I currently have 5 in my yard. One of my hens (1 year old cream legbar) has been sitting around sleeping with her head tucked in to her body for quite a while. Several days ago I picked her up an inspected her an noticed she had lice, so I dusted her with DE. The...
