Little one can’t walk

[Chrissa]

Hi! I’m just wondering if anyone has had a chick that can’t walk. It tries so hard. I know somethings wrong just because the others almost pecked it to death. Born yesterday. I am unable to upload the video. He can’t get up off of his bottom.

That's so sad. Wish I had some experience with ones that little. Here's a thread I found right here in BYC.

I would the poor baby chick a few days and see what happens. I've had chicks lame like yours as soon as they hatch and they start slowly standing up on day 4-5. Why did your chick get pecked? That could also be what may have caused it.

Try a liquid vitamin, make sure it contains B vitamins, not all do. Poultry cell is the one I have, children's Poly-vi-sol w/o iron works also. You can give a drop straight to the side of the beak. Make sure food/water are in easy reach. Making sure the chick can't stumble into the water and drown. A chick sling may help get it up and balanced.
