Day old chick can’t walk

[chickenchicklady]

Hi friends!
I got day old chicks today from my local farm store. All of the chickens but one is fine. They’re all active, eating and drinking, but I have one light Brahma who cannot walk, and won’t eat or drink. She chirps, but nothing else. When I first put her in the brooder, she would kind of hop a long, but she would fall over on to her back every 4-5 hops or so. Now she won’t even hop. Any suggestions on what I could do? The farm store gave me a replacement, but told me to keep her. And I don’t want her to just die.

Are its legs splayed out? Can you get a picture, or video of the chick in question?

The legs aren’t splayed out at all. At first I though sprattle leg, but I checked that already. No poop on her bum so no pasty butt, I can’t think of anything else it would be. How do I add video?

You upload a video to YouTube, then link it back here.

Sounds odd.

Unfortunately she didn’t make it.
Very sad.

Sorry for your loss. I had a shipped chick get lethargic. Some syringed chick starter and it started moving and walking again. There will be losses - don’t beat yourself up.
