I have eight 2 1/2 week old chicks. Four Barnevelders and four Welsummers. One of the Welsummers suddenly can't walk. They were all fine yesterday. Not sure about this morning. I might not have noticed since I was rushing to change their water and get to work. I've been giving them some veggies and boiled egg as a treat once a day for the last few days. They all love it. When I went to give it tonight, this one didn't get up. When I picked her up and moved her she held one of her legs close to her. She managed to move around the brooder a little, but looks off balanced and falls. I see no injury or obvious deformity.
Any ideas?
