I'm not really sure. How many other chicks do you have, what is the temp in the brooder, what are you feeding them? I haven't used it, but a lot of people will give them poly vi sol (sp) without iron. I belive it's an infant vitamin and you would do a drop on its beak 1-2x a day. It does sound like it might be a vitamin deficancy of some kind or a neurological problem so if it were mine I'd start on the vitamins (they won't hurt regardless) and see if it helps.
