Yeppers, I do....you'll know for sure in another week or two. Brahma can take longer to tell due to maturing slower and the pea combs.

Great! Hopefully you can put them all back into the big brooder after their big day out. Rearranging the big brooder might serve as a distraction and they'll all be together again! How old is that reddening chick? Look under his beak, nay wattles sprouting?

Actually that might be a good place to merge them, neutral territory. Make sure they have a wind break shelter. Scraps of HC, circled into 'corrals' of maybe 8-12" tall can help if time outs are needed for aggressive chicks.

I'd go with 30 minutes to several hours.....if you see trouble, change something up.

Ditto @TalkALittle ......Chick(en) Juggling! Night time can work, but day time with distractions and observation might be better.

Love your accent.....not the same exactly,(remember that debate?) but reminds me of the summers I spent in upstate NY. Glad to help, just paying forward the support I've gotten on forums in the past.

This^^^^^ start adding chicks to her brooder. Start with one, see how it goes, give it a few hours then add another, see how it goes. OR you could add her to the other brooder, see how it goes, might work fine...if no, go the other route. Chick(en) Juggling! Mix and match.....just keep...

Welcome to BYC...sorry you are having troubles. First read thru this whole thread to see what merrymouse has done to help her sick chick. Then start a new thread giving the details of your situation by clicking the link here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/threads/add/forumId/10

Great vid! Yeah, a little baby talk but that's ok....sick animal anxiety. Got a sick dog right now and my baby talk has increased with my anxiety. Definitely better balance and control with less wing usage. Was going ask if she was pooping...that's good too. Just keep doing what you're...

Hearing them might help....usually a single chick cheep for flockmates. But she maybe too sick to 'care'. I don't think her ailment is contagious, think it's developmental or genetic.

Huh! That is a good sign.....you'll just have to play it by eye and brain. I'd keep giving her the ND, not sure of dosage tho.

Agrees about the left head turn, could be wry neck, which ND can help IIRC. But seems brain is not connecting to body properly, thus all the flailing but inability to stand, walk, eat, drink despite strength. I'm surprised how strong she is with no food....she's what, 4-5 days old? Need...

Is she drinking on her own at all? You could put the ND in her waterer. Any better mobility this morning? Is she eating anything? Otherwise, I don't think you can give her too much if used at the proper dilution, tho I don't know much about the stuff as I haven't used it(was using chiksaver...

Ohgawd that must have been awful. She may need a buddy to keep her quiet. Best of cLuck(cHeep?)

Good way to drown them.....very easy to aspirate liquids squirted into the mouth.

Can you put her in a cup to help her stay upright while you hydrate her some more? I work on chicks under one of the jointed long arm utility lights to keep them warm. I doubt it's an illness, and the others have already been exposed if it is. It could be something neurological too..again...

OhMan...I am so sorry you have to go thru this.....some of them just don't make it for several reasons. Most I think something is just wrong inside.

Soak a Qtip and hold it against the side of her beak...it should wick into her mouth and she should swallow. Rubbing a finger gently under her beak and the front of the neck can spur them to swallow. Had to do this with a heat stroked hen last summer, just a bit at time cause it stressed her out...
