I have had grown chickens before but never baby chicks. I have a 7wk old light Brahma named Yeti that curls its head upside down shaking it back and forth while backing up until she hits a wall. Maybe slightly unbalanced but No obvious paralysis wing or leg. I also noticed that her irises are grey but I don’t know if they have always been grey.
Wilco farm store says all of their chicks are vaccinated against Marek’s. As far as I can tell our three other chickens (different breeds) do not act this way and their irises are golden brown.
Yeti has been quarantined since I noticed something was wrong. She will still eat her purina medicated start and grow feed. We also feed her twice a day white bread soaked in chick boost probiotic water, scrambled eggs, and two or three drops of poly vi sol (without iron) plus vitamin e and selenium added.
Her poops are light brown and a little runny. Twice yesterday I noticed some dark green bits in the poop.
I think she might be having spasms less frequently since starting the vitamins 4 days ago. I have a video of Yeti in spasm but can’t get it to upload.
Is there anything else I can do for her at home?
Does anyone have any experience or know what is wrong with Yeti?
Do I need to worry about my other chicks?
