Can being dropped kill a chick?

[Transit]

Do you think dropping my chick could have caused him to get sick?
I dropped him about ten times onto the ground from a foot up on complete accident, he woulden't quit squirming around.
But two days later he won't even open his eyes.
I think he had a strokeand he can't keep his head up.
All he can do is lay down and go to sleep.
Could being dropped cause that?

Could it? Yes it's possible but it sounds like other things could be going on with it. However, you said you dropped him ten times on accident? If you can not properly hold a chick I would not continue to force it. Next time wait until he is more accustomed to your touch before you start picking him up.

I think it is being caused by other things, when he was hatched his mother tryed to kill him, so I tryed to raise him inside. There is clicking when he breaths and there has been since he was born. All the times I dropped he was when he had a sizure he had about 15 sizeures that day. I can hold he right, but not when he suddenly has a major sizure after staying calm for a while.

So what do you think? Do you you think it was caused by natural causes or getting dropped?

If he was having a true seizure than this bird most likely has severe neurological issues.

I do think so. Either that or Asthma, because ever time he drank water, he spazed out, flopped onto his back and continued to twitch vilontley intill it quit. But when it did quit, he breaths the same way I do after an Asthma attack, hard, heavy, and violently. The clicking got worse each time.
