Born 9/12/16 in incubator
Normal behavior first 10 days
Other keets all doing well to date

9/22:
Sick keet on it's side, looked dead, scratching in circles on my approach.
When finally uprighted self, ran from being picked up + yelled/resisted being picked up.
After working legs, when I placed it by water, it sat & drank...lots
Same with food. Then wobbled/ran back to the group & sat normally
Checked10 minutes later-back on its side scratching in circles on my approach.
9/23-today:
Looks stiff & dead, all stretched out. Not able to get upright but still yells/resist being picked up.
Work legs & place next to roost or side board for support & it drinks/eats, then very awkwardly & sideways, moves back toward others. Legs & feet are move fixed now, but it is still very alert.

Please, what can we do?
