2-3 day old silkie chick has a twitchy head

[NDgoatgirlNV]

I was just given a silkie chick who is about 2 or 3 days old. It's legs kind of kick out straight behind it and it just kind of flops about and has trouble walking. I braced it's legs but it still had issues standing... also it's crop was empty when I picked it up tonight and I gave it some water with nutridrench in it...and I've been hand feeding it tiny amounts of non medicated starter and a few drops of water for the last hour or two since I brought it home....I put it in my bra to keep it quiet and warm, but once it started falling asleep, it is now twitching its head like once every 3-5 seconds...
Any information any of you might have that would help me to get this baby to survive would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I twitch when I sleep. Maybe he is the same??

Where'd you get it from? Is it the ONLY chick you have? If so & possible, get at least another for it's company, chickens are social animals. If you choose not to, a feather duster will mimic a Hen, a mirror may make it think there's another chick, keep the radio on for 'noise'...Keep it warm using a 40w light bulb, making sure it can get away from the heat if it gets too warm.

There's a website PoultryPedia what will help you with it's leg issues, which could be a vitamin issue. Being a Silkie, I recently learned this, they have a soft spot on top of their heads. Hopefully it hasn't had an injury that you're to aware of. The twitching could be just a reflex, hopefully.

I have 6 other chicks the same age, but this one was given to.me because of his leg issues. I tried putting him in the brooder with the.others and as soon as he stumbled over and fell, the bigger chicks (EE's) just stomped all over him...he is in my bra..( I have hand raised a few this way that were special needs.) I read somewhere that some silkies have this neurological issue that makes them twitch their heads...I am also researching recovery.slings so I don't have to constantly give him Physical therapy sessions.
Something like the picture below ( not my pic.)
