So I'm not sure how old she is... I'm thinking 5-7 weeks I got her may 26. Any ways she was fine perky cherpy eating drinking, this am she seemed sleepy before I went to work. When i got home she was still sleepy so I picked her up and she was cold so I carried her to a spare bedroom an put her on a heating pad (on low). She wouldn't open her eyes hardly @all. So I ran to to store for yogurt and electrolytes. When i got back she had perked up a bit an was eyes open and peeping. I feed her a dropper of yogurt mixed with Pedialyte and a dropper of straight Pedialyte... and I'm noticing she is only walking backwards. Neck seems fine but she's got her wingskinda out...mow she's perky-er can lift herself up looking around but backs into a corner and lays kinda on her chest I don't have a clue what it is after 3 hrs googling it here I am. I don't think it's wry neck but who am I to know...any other ideas / recommendations? Please
 
Ok update she can kind of walk one step at a wobbly time. I'm new here so I'm trying to figure out how to up load a video. I let her out of her heating pad box and she walked (wobbly) to a little pile of chick starter I softened with peytolite but she still seems to have a balance issues.
 
Strange. I have no idea. I would think it would be a deformity but If you've had her for a while and it hasn't done it befor then im not really sure. It seems a bit better in the video. Just a bit off balanced.
