Came home to my six week old chick sitting in the corner not moving. She can’t walk and seems to not be able to stand on one leg. Brought her in the house, no visible injury. She’s eating and drinking. She tries to stand and it’s like her one leg slides right out in front of her. Any thoughts...

I know this is an old post but wondering if anyone had success with these suggestions?

So sad! Such a nice guy! I’ll find a good place for him to go. Thank you all! He’s about 6 months old.

I’m sure this is a rooster but I really want it to be a hen. Want to make sure before I have to get rid of him.

Thank you all! I may just have the two units side by side rather then together.
