Nick Hall 193 Report post Posted June 2, 2013 Hi, Not a positive answer for you but she may of had a stroke, also some hens suffer from egg laying and if they have strugled laying an egg it can cause balance problems. 4 years is a good age for a hen. Hope this helps. Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix24 4 Report post Posted June 2, 2013 My hen sometimes gets a bit of egg-binding and sits fluffed up at the bottom, and struggles around for a bit until she passes the egg. Does sound more like a stoke if it's on one side. Did you check under the feathers to see if there was a break or something further up (the femur, inside the body)? Is she grasping ok with that leg? Are there any other signs eg head tilting, which can indicate some kind of infection? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
