HELP chick can't walk and stopped growing

[chika10]

i purchased her a while ago at the feed store, supposebly she is a d,uccle,but the feedstore is never sure. i also got a EE to go with her. she was always running around, she ate and drank. just recently,the last couple of weeks, she has not been able to walk and seems to crawl with her wings. her legs feel like she has no muscle what so ever. She still eats and drinks. i don't know what to do. now, on account of her paused growth, her sister is huge and treats the little one like a momma. i don't want to lose her and i'm sure her "momma" wouldn't either.


what i believe is a d,uccle

them together and they were purchased at the same size, but the other one just completely stopped growing.

You're talking about a "chicken", right? This is the quail forum, and I believe you may get a positive response if you post your question in the "Emergency help". I think its more like, Emergencies, injuries, or something along those lines. Just click on the link and it will take you there.
Hope your chick gets better

do you have a bb gun? yes, it does mean what you think it does. the last thing that you would want is a suffering chick. this is not meant to be mean or cruel in any way, just what would stop the chicks suffering. sorry, i have had many "crippled" birds with a similar fate.

If your going to own livestock, you have to be willing to treat them right, sometimes that means putting them down.

we have thought about it and it's really upsetting especially when she falls over and just lies there, this behavior is that of a small chick's. though we don't have a vet around here that we know will take her and i couldn't do it myself. i want to atleast try something first.

because she has never acted like this before and if she got sick why didn't the other one to?

Update: sadly, she died this morning. She tried her hardest;i'm gonna miss her
