    Multiple chicks suddenly cannot walk?

    Update: both chickens have now passed away, one naturally and one had to be put down. We still don't know what caused it and are curious to find out to prevent it from happening again.

    No, they are not in a brooder, but we used straw for the coop they and their mother were in.

    Multiple chicks suddenly cannot walk?

    About a month ago, I posted about a chick that suddenly could not walk and flopped around. Some helpful folks and research convinced us that is was vitamin deficiency. However after giving it polyvisol (w/o iron) and vitamin E with selenium, it hasn't really improved. It actually has begun to go...

    The selenium scares me a tad :( I'm afraid to give her too little or too much. I crushed up one of the tablets with a spoon into a fine powder and then put my finger in it. I then dipped my finger into her water. I did this two or three times. She took a few sips of it and seems to fine a few...

    We have started giving her selenium and vitamin E, but I'm uncertain as to how much to give her and how many times a day.

    Chicken can't walk... took to the Vet **PICS**

    May I ask what happened that you had to put her down? Was there no change in condition or did it get worse? I currently have a 4 week old chick that suddenly can't walk.

    Thanks! I should add that her head no longer is displaying wry neck symptoms, but she still can't walk. :( we give her half a dropper (5 milliliters) and we put the same amount in her water. We have put her in a sling to help her out, as well.

    The chick seems to be getting better after we upped its dosage of vitamins, we were afraid to give it too much before. We are going to try to make it a type of sling so it doesn't have to lay on its side. The only thing that worries me is that sometimes it appears to have trouble getting down...

    The chick does not seem to be getting any better, it flops around a lot more. It also leans it's head to the left quite a bit, even when drinking. It's worth noting that it seems to act as if its choking after it eats (though its not), and takes long pauses between each drink of water. We have...
