i have a hen that's a couple years old and other wise very healthy laying eggs ect. until one morning i went out and she was laying on the floor of the chicken coop with her legs stretched out behind her, i picked her up and she seemed fine no cuts or scrapes so i set her on the ground and she can stand on her legs but she falls forward, her legs are very strong but she just cant stand up with out me holding her front end up. i had one other hen do this 6 months ago but she was a very VERY elderly hen so i didn't think anything of it until now, i have tried giving this chicken antibiotics and baby vitamins and still nooo improvement. also the day before i found her i put Poultry Nuti-Drench chicken vit. in their water because some of them were loosing feathers, i was wondering if that could have caused it? also i researched this a lot and from what i found it seems to b a vitamin deficiency but i never could find out what vitamins i'm suppose to give her, ill post a video of her tomorrow please help
