Hi, I'm very worried about my flock right now and today I noticed a sick chick. The chick was perfectly fine before but is now acting very sluggish. Won't walk. Won't eat. Won't drink. Barely stands up and not very alert at all. It seems to have some weird head movement like slowly dips its head down and looks up. I'm really worried and I had to dip his beak in the water for him to drink. His eyes also seem a little watery. Also, no visible injuries.
The chick is a mix from my flock, no less than two weeks old. He was with his mother in the coop alongside the rest of the chickens. It's important to note that I recently received a hen who was not quarantined properly.
Any information I missed out I'll gladly answer.
