I have a naked neck who just 2 days ago was fine....

yesterday I went to check on the babies and she was on her side with her legs off to the side of her... its been hot here so it didnt really concern me but.. a note to self moment

this morning I went to check on her and she was flipped over on her back still breathing... I flipped her back over and she slumped to the side so I put her in ICU.. when i picked her up I noticed her crop was empty and she had plenty of food and water so I mushed up the layer food and placed it in her beak and she ate.. so every few hours I go and check on her, and manually place food in her beak, and drop water from a syringe . she is pooping normal

she is not mobile but she can move both legs, but cant hold weight on them and if left unattended for any length of time she will flip on her back. her feet are cooler then the rest of her body

I have made a ring/nest with a towel and placed her in the middle so she wont flop

any ideas?

She is on medicated water.. its called super booster... its kinda like gatoraid and an antibiotic all in one ... its for poultry I cant remember the maker right now
 
ok its been 23.5 hours.. I am going to self bump forgive me

wash off the feet and check really good for any cuts and bumble foot. which you can tell by the black spot. I had a rooster that was laying on side sitting on his elbows I guess you would call it and any one bumps in to him and he would flip over. well I cleaned his feet and found both of this little toes that stick to the back had pretty bad cuts. so I put neo on and wrapped it with vet wrap he is doing some better. so try that. good luck !

she has never been outside so her feet are really clean... there are no cuts her feet are nice and yellowish..lol they are cool to the touch though but she can move her feet and toes
 
wow I'm so sorry I have no other ideas. Mabey try some electrolyte and some poly vi sol. I really don't know unless lice or mites or worms are making them week.
