Hi guys. My chick who has a slipped tendon has been especially sleepy lately and as we were putting him in a sock for therapy I noticed he was shaking his head a lot. He also fell asleep like this
When I touched him he woke up and started eating again. I thought maybe the sleepiness was from the stress of putting him in the sock but I’m not sure. He’s not shaking his head anymore but he was doing it a lot earlier while I was holding him and when I was just watching him before we put it in the sock. As I was writing this he fell asleep like in the picture again when he was in the brooder with the other chicks he was sleepy a lot too. First, Do you think it’s ok if he sleeps like that? And second what do you think is wrong with him? I’ve already lost one chick and I really don’t want to lose another.
P.S I just stopped giving them probiotic water, for three weeks I was giving it to them.
