Has this bird been injured? Frightened/picked on? Have they eaten maggots?

Do you have other chicks the same age? How are they doing? Are they kept inside?

Looks like paralysis, he looks alert and is willing to eat so there is hope depending on what caused this. Feed him soft foods, maybe some raw egg/water with a little sugar would be good too.

Thanks for the reply please read other one too. There is a video there he was little and doing something. Someone think it is neurologic so i'm curious what you'll think


He has 11 siblings and they are too helathy. My father thinks his mother steped his neck but he was not looking beated or something. He was too little when he came -you can see the vid other topic i add the url-

I dont actually know where my father keeps them but i guess they were inside yes

We found 2 maggots in apples they were alive we force him to eat them but he didnt want it. He attack with his mouth several times slowly but didnt eat so i was searching and saw flour maggots (?) they are pretty little but i didnt bought cause like i said he didnt eat the 2 of fruit maggots before

Okay I read the other thread. A week is a long time, it is probably a neck or head injury.

I asked about maggots because they can spread botulism which causes paralysis, but if he had botulism he would have either died or recovered within a day or two.

I would NOT do any more exercises especially if he screams, just make sure he doesn't get sores from laying down all the time. Gently groom his little feathers so he won't be itching and unable to scratch. Some suggested giving him steroids to reduce swelling and that may help but if he has been like this for a week then I don't think things look to good.

My father said his legs may be calcify because of not walking. Like i said his neck was on the ground so he was steping backward and we were not let him walk. So my father said it will be good to do exercises. How he could walk if we wont do exercise and how can i prevent sores. His neck is heeld that week but legs gone bad so he is not that bad i think. And he always peeping really. Unless we take him when he lays down he is screaming when we does that like the video

Very young creatures usually recover fast since everything in their little bodies is growing/repairing itself much faster than an adult. The fact he has been like this for a week is really not a good sign.
