Emergency Help Please. Chick walking strangely

[R.M.Qureshi]

Please help. I am unable to understand whats wrong with this chick, Eating ,drinking and droppings are normal. Cant walk like a chicken but he is active otherwise

I'm not sure, but this could be the onset of wry neck. If it is you will need to get some polyvisol and some vitamin E capsules. There are some very informative threads on here . Start researching and good luck.

Dear Fancy chook lady,

Thank you very much for the hint. Should i look for wry neck or something else.

Regards

In the picture it looks a little like a slipped tendon. You might look at some info to see it that is what your chick has. https://sites.google.com/a/poultrypedia.com/poultrypedia/poultry-podiatry

I will post a video clip of this chick walking. Legs seems to be absolutely fine. The belly is little bit swollen. He runs, jumps, eat every thing but started walking like that three days ago.

Does chick have pasty butt(poop stuck/covering vent area)? No redness around vent or umbilical area. I know you mentioned that chick is pooping normal,but this is how a hen would walk if she were egg bound(egg stuck internally). Your chick has the same walk(penguin walk)almost like there is some sort of obstruction in vent. Try soaking chicks bottom in warm water. If chick is eating anything other than chick feed,he/she needs grit.

How is chick? Looked at video,still looks like chick has some issue with vent area. No blocked vent? Did you try soaking bottom in warm water? Does chick have grit,if eating anything other than chick feed,they need grit.

Chick is still alive, active, eating , running but walking in the same way. Any suggestions please.
No blockage of vent no signs of pain ??
