HELPP!!
I have 3 chicks inside my house all a month old they’re inside because one of them is struggling to gain weight because she has a crooked beak.
Anyways today i noticed the other chick who has been fine acting lethargic laying down in the corner and not moving around much. i picked her up to see if something was wrong and when i put her back down she tried to run away but kept falling down forward. a few minutes after she flailed her wings landed on her back and her neck kept moving around in circles i picked her up to stabilize her as it looked like she was having a seizure. She’s done it a couple times. I don’t know what could be wrong she was perfectly fine yesterday. the other chick she’s in with is a little more aggressive i think he’s a little rooster but he doesn’t seem to bother her too much. I tried to give her some water as i’m not sure if she’s eating and drinking. she has been fine up until this point i haven’t changed the type of food or water. her poo is a bit runny but not bloody. any ideas what could be wrong.

Welcome To BYC

Can you post photos of her and her poop?

If you have video of how she acts when you see seizures, that may be helpful.

Upload video to Youtube and provide a link or you can use the BYC Gallery, just be sure to tell us where the video is. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/how-to-upload-videos-to-the-gallery.1631126/

Watch to see that she's drinking and eating.
