Baby wobbly on feet

[BabyBantam]

Don't feel like I ever come on here for good news
Got home from work and my girl who I nursed through her sore bottom seemed to be stumbling, waving her head strangely and wobbled off her feet a couple of times. Only got home just before dark, so she's now tucked up in a nest of straw in the spare room for the night.... Also brought the other 2 in and put in seperate crate, but they seemed fine. Last night it got to -8, but when I put their food out this morning the grass under the ark only seemed very slightly frosty, so think the temp was a lot higher for them.
Checked her for mite, lice etc and her poo from last 24 hrs is solid, but seems to have created a yellow wet patch in the sawdust around it and looks a little green. Does anyone know of wobbles caused by cold, or is this common for anything else (baring in mind I've lost 1 to mareks recently)?

I am sorry, if you have lost one to Mareks, then it is possible that this hen has also contracted Mareks

So, sorry to hear she's not well again BB and also so sorry I can't offer any helpful advice but hang in there...thinking of you and your girl.

Thanks guys, just checked on her and she seems ok, big black fluffy ball. Husband now laughing that bets are off at work due to everyone saying they'd take his place upstairs before long
I'm presuming that they don't need to perch in their boxes? I've got them in plastic crates with a towel draped over the top and secured with clothes pegs. They're on a layer of sawdust (Blackie got straw too). Never had them indoors below, so got a new set of worrying to take my mind of her

It's possibly hypothermia. We had Gandalf (Wyandotte cockerel) behave like that last year. Bought him in for a warm and he seemed fine after a few hours. Next day he went again but this time he was standing in the snow, both feet down staring into space. He wasn't shivering either -which is a very bad sign. He was in for 3 days before he recovered properly. We had two others as well. Appeared drunk at first!
Suggest you keep a close eye on her. Pleased she seems OK now that she's in the warm. Fluffed up feathers would indicate that her body temperature is low and she's trying to retain heat.

She made it Quiet, but eating breakast of warm mash in her crate and burbling away to me. Seems no signs of the wobbles so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for hypothermia...

Well, she's still here Underweight and weak, but back her back in her box tonight in the spare room and added her sisters (been outside for today as at work and they couldn't be trusted indoors). Hoping there is no bullying when they all go outside in the morning.
She's such a brave little fighter

That's good news, what a lucky little hen to be so well looked after. Have you tried treating her with hardboiled egg chopped up? Nice lot of protein in that.
