I have my first hatch of chickens (7 weeks old) outside in the chick pen next to the big birds. They roost in the coop with the big birds at night.
I have noticed one of these little guys acting progressively stranger and stranger for the last 4 days. The first day he ran at top speed right into the waterer, like he never saw it. I thought it was just him being a goofy chick. Then yesterday he was acting like he had something wrong with his left leg. I couldn't find any sign of injury. Just now he was wobbling around like he was dizzy. He alternates limping on both legs. And he ran into the waterer again. He is scratching for food, and eating and drinking just fine. I've examined him and can't find any visible sign of illness or injury.
Anyone have any ideas?
