Just wondering if it was a vitamin difeciency, it can cause those symptoms. Can you check bag or better yet take picture of the ingredient listing and vitamin listing and post so that it can be determined if this is a vitamin or mineral related issue?

Maybe pecked in the head and cause a neurology issue. I believe it’s way to young for Mareks.

I had the same thing happen with one of my little chicks. I believe it was a vitamin B12 deficiency. Try giving vitamins in the water. I used Save-a Chick. I also gave my chick a liquid vitamin B-12 called Rooster Booster with a dropper right on the tip of the beak or just offered it to her in a shot glass. I did that for a week or so until she refused to take it any more. I also fed her scrambled eggs with yogurt and nutritional yeast to fatten her up. She walked wobbly for a week or so but is doing fine now. She is still smaller than the rest but seems healthy. Good Luck!
