One of our little 2-week-old chicks has been a little lethargic and barely walking for the past day. She is eating and drinking, when I move her to the vitamin water and food. She still pecks at things while she's laying down, but she appears to be breathing a little faster, and she's sleeping a lot. When she does get up, it's for a short time and very unsteady.
After observing her a few times I noticed she isn't putting much weight on her right leg and rolls a little onto her left side. I'm wondering if she hurt it? I've been looking online for help (lots of good info on BackYard, as always), but I can't figure out what to do if it is her leg. I've attached a couple of photos and a video of us testing out her standing.
Thanks in advance, any thoughts?
