Baby chicken is not walking properly and drinking water

[Ahmed1234]

I do not know much about chickens*

I bought 6 baby chickens a month ago when they were 1 months old probably.
They were of Indian breed as I am from India.
They all fine,I supply them with rice food and they go to grazing in farm.I don't have a brooder or a coop. So I keep them in a clean and dry storage room.
Now it all happened before a week ago, when the smallest chicken started behaving strangely. He pecked his feets and removed the skin shortly, plucked out his fur. Then he can't walk fastly, then entirely did not walk. When I carefully saw it, I saw some type of fungal infection on his skin. So i put anti-fungal powder to it but nothing happened. So, he died at night, the whole day he didn't made a noise.

Now among the 5 chickens, one is looking unhealthy, he can't walk properly with one leg he justs sits there at one place. There is no fungal infection to it. What to do now?
What diet should be given?Did it happen do to execcesive touching? There is no symptoms to others.

Welcome to BYC! Great to have you here!

I'm so sorry you lost that chick, and I hope the others aren't affected or can be cured.

You might consider posting about this over in the Emergencies, Diseases, Injuries, and Cures forum ( https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures.10/ ). You may get some good advice here as well, but they focus on it over there.

So sorry about the lost chick, that's hard to go through.

I hope the good folks on the ER forum can help you out so you don't lose any more.

Best of luck to you!

Please reply what to do??? I dont want it to happen to other chickens. Give dietry information, and vaccinations and boosters.
I don't know what to do? Help me immediately, situation is getting worse. He could easily jump 2 feets without any problem, but noe can jump 1 feet also.

Sorry your having a hard time..Do you provide any type of Chicken feed..?..The fungus you mention could be scaly leg mites? Rubbing Vaseline on the legs will kill the mites.
Chickens are prone to disease so it could be anything..

I feed them with pearl millet often and give cooked paddy and pulses together. I provide them good amount of food and they eat it full stomach. I also give them onion pieces.and they also graze in farm..

I probably posted on the emergencies-diseaes-injuries-cures forum.
But I ain't sure as I am new here.

Onion is toxic to birds...
