FALLING OVER CHICK

[restinpeacenyla]

My baby chick has been acting very strange lately and im PRAYING its not coccidiosis. She has been shaking her head NON STOP and falling over. Her appetite is completely normal but shes been chirping ALOT! (Non stop) We have been giving her medicated chick starter feed for coccidiosis yet I am still very afraid of the illness! What can I do? Are there any home made and natural remedies? HELP!!!!

What you should do is very thoroughly clean out the brooder immediately. Affected chicks become listless and stand huddled up as if they are cold. They will have a decreased appetite and their combs appear pale. The droppings can be bloody or even foamy. You should try using Corid to help out.

You could try Amazon, it is quite pricey though. Do you have a picture of your chick?

 

[restinpeacenyla]

Sounds more like wry neck.

Can you get a video of the chick?

Some chicks are born with conditions where they have no balance or are weirdly twisted.
