Chicken narcolepsy?

[agold23]

My pullet isn’t narcoleptic but it seems like she is. Yesterday evening I noticed that she closes her eyes while out and about. She is , eating and drinking and mingling with the flock like normal but she will stand there and “drift off” with eyes closed. Her eyes are clear and look normal, I think if there were debris in them it’d be gone by now. If she’s standing still/idling she’ll close them until there’s action of some kind. She will even tilt her head or take a step with her eyes closed. I think she may be sick but she’s the only chicken who’s acting not like their normal self.

Is she laying eggs? Is her tail position down or up? Do her eyelids or below the eyes appear swollen. Can you get her drinking some water with electrolytes and vitamins? Can you offer some moistened feed and a little scrambled or boiled egg?

She’s not laying eggs yet- she’s only 20 weeks and a lavender orpington, soon though. Her tail is basically non existent, it’s always been like that. Her eyes look fine, I’ll get a closer look tomorrow and get back with that. I can definitely get some electrolytes and scrambled egg into her. Thank you!

I would say her stance is looser than usual, her bum leaning towards the ground.
