Our Pekin Bantam has the staggers... wobbling about, losing her balance, and putting her wing out to correct it. We checked her feet, and couldn;t see anything amiss, gave her foot feathers a trim, just in case. She is bright and happy otherwise, with bright eyes and a red comb... any ideas?

Sorry mate, new one on me. If she was human I would say infection of the semi-circular canals - but a chook? Dunno!

ear infections can effect balance in people, so maybe chickens too?
