4 day old chick with weird head rubbing and trying to get under brooder-mates. Seems confused, staring upwards, cheeping constantly...

Hey everyone. She is kind of unsteady and doesn't seem to be eating or drinking on her own, so we've been trying to stick her beak into several different food options and electrolyte water throughout the day. She dozes off if I put her under the brooder plate, but otherwise displays the above behavior.
Is this standard for any particular malady? Thanks for any ideas.

Do you have photos?

I'd offer her wet much chick starter. Get vitamins into.

Give 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily for a couple of weeks. A little mushed up scrambled egg daily will help with the uptake of E.

Photos of the chick may help or a video of her actions. Upload video to youtube and provide a link.

Thank you Wyorp Rock!
