One of our chicks has me stumped. She has no balance at all and no stability. I can stablize her and she'll just flop over to her side, usually to her left. When she walks, she stumbles, rolls, tumbles, and either gets herself up against the side and is good leaning or just lays down on her side to rest. She eats and drinks fine with some assistance. Her legs and feet seem to be working normally. She does shake a bit when trying to balance but other than that I don't see any physical reason why she can't walk.
Today, I took out all the pine shavings and put down rubber shelf liner so she doesn't slip as much. She does appear to be more upright than not now so it may be helping. I'll keep helping as long as I see improvements. Any ideas on what this is?
