One of my barred rock chicks I recieved last Wednesday (so 7 days old today), today isn't able to stand up or walk around. It seems to not have control of it's legs, instead it sits on the ground like it is sleeping but peeps and doesn't move much. When I went to pick it up, it flopped around flapping his wings a little bit with not much control of it's legs. In all other ways it seems fine, it has started to fledge wing and tail feathers, it has gotten around fine until now (in fact the barred rocks have been the fastest and hardest to catch up to this point). I should add that the chicks are on pine shavings and this isn't where the legs get splayed out from a slippery surface.
Can anyone please help with what is wrong with my chick, and what I can do to help?
Thanks,
Dan
