Well I got a pair of i think 2 day old chicks 3 weeks ago. A couple days ago (maybe 2-3) I noticed one had a bald chest, well it was in a small spot which looked like a large bump. I was worried, but it didnt seem to be affecting the chicken. So today the chickens were on my stomach acting normal as usual. Then i fell asleep. Then i was awoken my a loud chirping noise sounding like the chicken wants something really bad. So i locate the noise and it was beside me on the floor. It seemed like it wanted to get on the couch but it couldnt. It would start flinching/running around (?convulsing?) while screaming aloud in momentary stints. And it doesnt seem to be extending his head (he keeps his head tucked in and turned to one side) Right now he's sitting on the pc table with his head turned 90* to one side and he looks like he's tipping his weight forward. (like bending over) I'm really worried about him and I'm not sure what to do (first timer). Oh and i noticed there were some blue lines around the bald part of his chest. I haven't done much but comfort him and try to feed/ give him water (which he rejects). (he reminds me of myself writhing in pain on the bed on my stomach with a stomach ache)
