Title: Poorly chuck
Post by: charliechuck on October 18, 2009, 09:15:18 am: Any suggestions gratefully received. One of our Bantams is lethargic and wobbling around as if she is tipsy and her head slowly droops to the side before she picks it up. She is less active than the others but is still feeding. She is moulting at the moment but otherwise looks quite bright and her comb is nice and red. We have lost three others with similar symptoms but over a period of three years. The last one was last summer.
Thanks in advance.

Thought one was going the same way a few days ago, but now seems perfectly alright. someone suggested they might have had an obstruction......
