    Mentally handicapped chick?

    Wasn't really sure which forum to add this too but it seemed like a chicken behavior thing as it's not an emergency or disease :). I ordered chicks from a hatchery about 4 weeks ago. Well I have 2 buff silkies and one of them started acting very weird this last week and a half. I'll attach the...
