I'm not sure. It started with a weak leg and curled toes and happened when I gave them plain water instead of the probiotic/electrolyte water. Quickly became total leg weakness; it cannot stand and lays on it's side. Its legs twitch and spasm. Its head also twitches. Today there is considerable facial swelling.


I had it in a separate crate on top of the brooder because until I found the swelling, I thought it was a vitamin deficiency. That crate was right next to the heat lamp, so it has been extra warm but not on purpose.


I'm having trouble finding info that I can process. Most of it is too thick to wade through.
How old is it?

-Kathy
5.5 weeks.
That's about how old mine were. You have any e capsules?

Not quite. I'm just running out of Ideas on where to look.

Look in the bottom of your purse. Ain't no tellin' what you're liable to find in there! 

I've dumped it three times. Each time, I throw away something else.

@campingshaws
 , last year i had two chicks and I think they had a vitamin e deficiency. Gave Vitamin e for two days and they got better.

Quote: Other than the swelling, any signs of respiratory illness? FWIW, my chicks looked a lot like your chick, except they didn't have any facial swelling. What has this chick been eating? Any chance it got into rancid feed?
