I have 4 newly hatched chicks, they're around 3 weeks of age. Two of the chicks appear to be unable to walk, one was already struggling and the other started showing signs of being unable to walk. They shouldn't be injured. When they attempy to walk they simply move their legs from side to side...
A little chicken, from a batch of 12. Used to be 12 but 4 unknowingly died. We rescued this batch from a cage that was left abandoned. Recently we noticed this baby with a bump on his eye. He doesn't seem to be seeing from it. Im not quite sure on what to do.
