    chick scratching neck, feather loss. no mites

    yes thats true but the only reason i feel its not that because his siblings do not scratch. and they also dont have feather loss. its just this lone ranger. could it be he initially injured himself somehow and keeps scratching the healing causing this?

    Possible sprained leg on a baby chick

    here she is. the left leg is a little back compared to the right. she doesnt put pressure on that leg, it is down. but she doesnt use it. she loses balance quite often. she doesnt walk or move around. she was born perfectly normal. she used to run around all the time. everything excited her.

    Possible sprained leg on a baby chick

    she jumped from a high place if this helps diagnose her. the yellow bits are from an antibacterial cream. i circled the part i think is jutting out on the diagram. her skin isnt red. but it hurts her when we touch it or she puts weight on it.
