riding farm Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 My hen, only today has suddenly started to walk funny. She can walk in straight lines but then when going round a corner she cranes her neck weirdly and looses her balance then bumps into things. Also she eats normally but seems to be getting thinner and has stopped laying, but the egg laying has been going for a week or two now, though she lays the odd one with a thin shell now and again. Any suggestions please? thanks alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 She maybe has an ear infection. I would take her to a vet tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Has she had access to any mouldy food of any type? Botulism is sometimes called Limberneck in poultry. I think she should definitely see a vet sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
