if she stopped laying eggs thats normal however the rest dose not sound normal ask your local vet see what he/she thinks

Either a toxic problem or clostridial disease. Likely to be fatal but get her onto some peniciilin or ampicillin and keep your fingers crossed.

asked my vets advise he said because she seems ok first thing in the morning the only thing he can think of is epilepsy and there is no treatment.
if it gets worse i will prob consider putting her to sleep.
thank you stuart and scarlet budgie for your advise.
