Hi!
I have eight chick babies that are approximately 6 weeks old. (based on their size/feathers) theyre all doing great except for one. She seems to be having really bad balance issues. She keeps falling over to her left side and it takes her a second to get up. It happens every time she starts to run around with the others. she can stand fine but whenever she gets moving, she just falls over to her left side. I inspected her legs and wings for any deformity/injury but nothing looks wrong. she is eating and drinking fine. no other sighs of illness. the others are not bullying her at all. it has been really cold where i live so i have not moved them outdoors full time, basically they are outside in the day and i bring them back inside my house in the evening. i noticed this yesterday and then definitely confirmed this morning when i let them outside. this is my first time having chicks living where i live now and it has been too cold to let them go outside more often before now. They will be outdoors full time moving forward, i mention that because i am wondering if its possible they have not had enough room to run around lately and this one has fallen behind. Any ideas? Anything i can do to help? Thank you in advance
