Guest Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 well, in humans loss of balance can be something to do with ear infections or a problem with the fluid in the inner ear but in cokerels, I don't know. You say he's "new". Did you get him from a breeder? If so, maybe a call to the breeder might help. You could also try asking in the chicken clinic and/or phoning your vet. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, other than in bumping this back to the top. Hope someone else can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Arrietty my Orp has got dodgy legs and drags one leg. she can't walk properly and staggers and trips - but she gets about by jumping and walking with big deliberate strides - like someone who has neurological problems. But its not really balence so it doesn't really help you so I don't know why I've posted this really. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
