Hello all, I really need some help. Background: hybrid hen just started sitting around a couple of weeks ago (I was on holiday and they were being minded by friend who told me). Hen stopped laying and stopped escaping by flying over the fence every day. She then started twisting her neck and being wobbly. I have taken her to the vets, she's had 3 antibiotic shots but is no better. She's not very active, not inquisitive. She is eating and drinking and has not lost weight.
Vet says it could be an ear infection but this would have cleared up with antibiotics.
Vet says equally it could now be a neurological condition (infection, virus etc).
My other 2 hens are absolutely fine and behaving normally.
Anyone got a clue as to what could be going on?
