So I have a Maran chick that hatced out a couple of weeks ago. Noticed last night that she is walking backward, falling over and just not acting right. I have her seperated in the chick Hospital. Really thought she would be dead over night. This morning, she is alive. Eatting and Drinking, but not acting completely right.

Any thoughts? She was in with some older chicks, maybe she was stepped on or pushed around.
 
With chicks, it seems some are so accident prone. It could have been stepped on, or pecked in the head, the possibilities are endless. I think separating it was a good idea. Keep an eye on the little one and let it rest. Some vitamins may help also. Sorry I can't help more, hope your chick feels better soon!
 
Had an uncle that done that sometimes. I think he was drunk....
