Okay. I have 7 bantam chicks. 2 are golden sebrights, 2 wheaton ameraucanas, 2 mille fleur, and 1... I don't know what he is... maybe java? All a month old. Anyway... one of my mille fleur's has been hit by some disorder, and hit hard. He can't hold his head/neck still, and topples over when he tries to walk. It's like involuntary muscular movements that just doesn't stop. I'm not sure if he is even getting any sleep, because it won't stop. I give him water with a syringe, and he is able to eat wetted down chick feed. I know it isn't coccidia because the chicks were tested by the vet last week. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with him, and what I can do? No we won't "cull" him. We can't kill animals. I wish we had the money to just take him to the vet. But PLEASE... any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!
 
Well,
Electrolites, mash, ......as you can tell this isn't goin well. Chickens are so fragil (sp). When they are gone they are gone.
 
It sounds neurological and time will most likely take care of the issue for you. Hugs to you, it is difficult watching them suffer. Sorry I don't know of anything that could help
