Chick not wanting to stand

[Tiana's chickens]

Probiotics sound good. I wish I could think of more to help but i haven't seen this before. Hopefully she will make improvements, you're doing everything you can.
Just as a side note, from the first photo, her comb development makes me wonder if she might be a he.

That would be awesome if she was a rooster! I just hope she recovers. She still isn’t using her legs, they aren’t paralyzed though, she just seems uncoordinated. She/he has some really cool coloring and is such a sweetheart.

Update: she’s taking a rather sharp decline. I’ve got her lined up to see the vet tomorrow. She’s losing even more weight but still eating like a pig. She’s developing tremors or maybe some sort of seizures? She can basically only move her head now, her legs and wings just stay wherever I position them to. Her crop is functioning normally again, and her poops have become more regular and frequent but that’s the only improvement. Hopefully the vet will have some sort of solution! I never knew my small town vet saw chickens but they do, and they consult the expensive chicken vet so maybe I’ll have answers. If I find anything out I’ll make sure to post an update, maybe it will help someone in the future

Hope she gets better

Me too! It doesn’t seem likely. I described everything to the vet, showed her the picture saga of everything from poop pics to crop pics and pics before she took a sudden decline. Her initial suggestion was Mareks but when I told her no other birds had any of the symptoms, she said we might have to find out via necropsy, but it’s possible it’s some sort of malabsorption issue

So, hopefully I’ll have answers soon! I’ll share my findings

Please did you ever get any more info/ results? My 3 wk old chick has this exact same issue. Can’t stand and shaking.
