chick running backwards and rolling over.

[wadeb72]

Three weeks ago I bought six bantams from tsc.
Two days ago one started running backwards with it's
Head between it's legs. Today he is barely moving with
His head between his legs. The other five are fine. He is
In a broader with a red heat lamp. They have plenty of fresh
Water and starter grower feed.do not know the weight or
Breed. Can't tell about the poop either. But did find him sleeping
In the feeder yesterday. Also when running backwards he
Will roll over.

I guess everyone has chicks that run backwards and rolls over

I dont have much experience with chickens- but it does sound a little like a duckling I had a while back with a vitamin deficiency. Try giving some vitamins in the water- and a concentrated amount - a few drops at a time straight into the beak to see if that may help the little one to improve.

It sounds like wry neck and it is treated with vitamins as duckyfrom oz said. Take a look at this link:
