1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Salmon Faverolle Chick, couple hours old.
2) What is the behavior, exactly. It sits with its head pointing up at the sky, maybe even further back, and when it tries to walk it flips over backwards. It pipped in the wrong end of the egg, and started zipping, but I had to help it finish.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? Since it hatched.
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms? Nope, other chicks are healthy.
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. Naval looks good, nothing I can see.
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation. Might have been that it was in the wrong end of the egg or something.
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. Nope, still in the incubator.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. It pooped as soon as it got out, looked like the other chicks poop.
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? Tried sitting it back upright, but fall right back over onto its back.
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? Just to get it to live, I can take on a disabled bird, if its permanent, but need help if its possible to save this chick.
It was zipping for about 12ish hours before it stopped and I helped. Its trying to move around and very loud, but it flipps over and gets stuck.
Is there any hope for this chick?
