Lethargic

[YoungCat]

Hi I am very new to raising chickens. 1 have 2-3 month old buff orpingtons and 2 4 week old buffs. The older one was fine yesterday but today is having a hard time holding her head up. Barely eats and drinks and just doesn't want to move. What is wrong with her?

I'm definitely not the expert, but I just had a chick like that. For me it was a vitamin e deficiency. She couldn't walk well, her head was dropping, she was showing signs of wry neck. Yours might be something different though, not an expert. But you could give them some vitamin supplements. That's my best guess at what it is. You could look up the symptoms to see if they match. Best of luck with your chicks.
