One of my 2 baby chicks appears to be sick. She's collapsing a lot onto her knees and walking like she's drunk. Stepping on her own feet. Also shaking. She closes her eyes a lot. When she poops, she almost collapses and has to use her wings for balance. Any idea what might be going on?

Thanks!
 
Could it be Marek's? I am new to this whole chicken thing but maybe that is what the problem is. Did you get your chicks vaccinated?
 
The chicks were not vaccinated.

It looks like it might be marek's. I read some threads here, and it seems to effect older birds, not 3 weeks old.

Does anyone have experience at this age?

Her head is very shakey and she's tending to fly from point to point because she can't walk well.

Thanks!
