This is Sprout. I rescued a flock of 17 chickens about a year ago (and a turkey). So far they have all been great. I lost one to a severe prolapse and as of yet has been the only casualty.
Last week I walked into the coop and she was in a crumpled heap. I picked her up, she stood up and walked off. When I picked her up I also noticed her being extremely thin. So I separated her and came here. Looked at everything everyone has said about similar situations and tried a few things.
They had all been wormed with wazine about 8 weeks ago. I had also purchased some Valbazin for them, but hadn't wormed them with that yet. So I went ahead and gave just her some and hoped for the best.
She eats fine, drinks fine and wanders around. Once she tries to run, its party over.
I gave her the wormer last week, she is still skinny. She is getting super spoiled because I make sure she eats. She scratched out in the garden and hammered 3 big ol earthworms before they even knew what hit them. Im sort of at a loss as she doesn't seem to fit all of the symptoms for mercks or avian en(buncha letters)its
Here is a video and a few pics. If anyone has a clue please let me know. New to chickens and i am stumped. She seems better this week, attitude wise, not so much on the coordination. Thank you all in advance

turned out to have an impacted crop. I have no idea why it made him behave the way he did, it looked like a neurological problem with him too. But we treated him for that and he made a complete and immediate turn around. Either way good luck with her!
