My daughter's friend contacted us when her Agway got in a new shipment of baby chicks earlier today. 2 were special needs. A Barred Rocks with an enlarged eye and a Bantam with trouble standing and moving. A brief Google search makes me think the eye issue isn't the coryza because the eyeball is bulging, not swollen. She can open it. After getting her home, I noticed that she has one leg that she holds weirdly and she is very wobbly when walking.
The Bantam sits on its tush with legs spread straight in front. They do tuck under easily and there is full movement though the grip is weak. It can stand very briefly so I think it is likely some sort of hip issue rather than a spinal issue.
I'll include photos. Any advice is appreciated. I have a small zoo of pets so I can handle just about any special care needed which is why I agreed to take them.
