2 week old chick not walking

[cooingdove]

Hi,
I got some chicks at TCS exactly two weeks ago, they all seemed to be fine and healthy until today. Suddenly one of them is limping and floundering around in the grass, she seemed fine until just now, free ranging with the others. Her toes seem uncoordinated and curled up, even though they where not like that just yesterday. She keeps inhaling dramatically and clicking her beak and all she wants to do is puff up and sit there rather than run around. At least she is still eating and drinking. Do you think she is injured? Maybe someone picked her up and dropped her when i wasn't looking? Or maybe wry neck, although she has been eating plenty. Any advise would help. Thank You!

What's her diet? Anything moldy or Toxic she could have found?

There is always a chance she found something moldy/toxic ect. she and the others have been free ranging (supervised ofc). I feed them some mash made locally, it has a lot of minerals and vitamins in it. I smelled good and fresh (I know how to smell mold) so i dont think it is that.

She ate and drank more just now, i gave her some water with vinegar and echinacea just incase. She can walk, but she walks strangely. Like a stiff prancing. Never seen anything like that.

Is it her knees that don't appear to work?

Perhaps, but she has no trouble sitting down/puffing up

Do y'all think i should try to get wormer for her? I lost a hen to gapeworm and it sucked, i dont want to loose another but i dont want to worm her if that is not the issue

I don't think she's old enough to have worms to any degree that would cause this issue. Have you tried vitamin therapy?

Can you get a video of her walking?

She's too young to be dewormed.
