1) What type of bird-silkie , almost 12 weeks.
and weight-?
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
Lays down all day now. Would sit and wouldn't get in co-op at first about a week ago. Would try to fly out of co-op but would end up jumping and flopping basically. We trimmed eye feathers with no changes. Continued to progress to just laying down. Bird would sit upright on hocks and would turn head to one side almost backwards. Can still move both legs. Right wing dosent move just is limp.

Crumbles and water on own if presented to her. Also egg yolk yogurt and applesauce mash by spoon.
Supplementing rooster booster vitamin supplement liquid suspension.

Normal

We initially thought coccidosis so started giving flock code is in water.
Isolated said chicken and poop was normal. Still giving code is water as full treatment. Supplement food and vitamins.
