Hunched Unsteady Chicken

[Jfox33]

Hi all, I have an almost two year old leghorn, that has been acting off for about a week. I noticed her looking puffed up, and isolating herself. She had a mite lice infestation that has been treated, but is still continuing to isolate herself and continues to look puffed up and unsteady on her feet. I moved her inside, gave her epsom salt bath in case she was egg bound but I couldn’t feel anything. She eats avidly but hasn’t been drinking water. I’ve tried soaking scrambled eggs in electrolyte water. She has been moved inside but it still unsteady on her feet and doesn’t move much, she typically is hunched on one leg. Her poops seem normal. We got her as a rescue last fall. We’ve had a cold NH winter so far and she has some frostbite on her comb, not sure if that is contributing to the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Some moments she looks really rough and depressed and then a minute later she’ll be fine and scavenging for food. Has lost no appetite and her poops are a normal color and consistency.

It definitely looks like coccidiosis. you could try to put apple cider vinegar in her water, but it doesnt always help
