Yes you should see a clear dot on his head too. Females are brown and look like easter egger chicks. Pam

He is light colored. Also seems to be having trouble walking well. Not splayed legs but as if his feet don't cooperate so he can't get his balance. Doesn't stand up for long before tipping. Shuffling when moving around, staying low. Hoping it is from being cramped in the shell and will "find his legs" soon :)

Give him some vitamins make sure it has B in it. Pam
 
Yes, that was my plan for this afternoon. I am going to stop at feed store to get some on my way home from work and if none there I read that Poly-Vi-Sol for infants without iron is acceptable. My daughter told me that he is moving around more and walking better today. If the vitamins don't help maybe I need to make him some "shoes" like for the curled toes.

The first thing I would do is separate the sick ones out so it doesn't spread if it is serious. Lots of really bad chicken diseases start with respiratory symptoms. Better safe than lose a bunch from the flock. It's what I do.
I have had standard chickens go broody, but the best seem to be heritage breeds and bantams. The broody I have now is a bantam and its her first time sitting and so far she is doing a great job! My silkies always did fantastic too.

I have them separated. The runny noses are better on all three but two are still somewhat lethargic. This is day 3 of giving the Tylan 50.

I hope they get better soon. I know how frustrating it is when you aren't sure what is wrong and nothing you try works.

He was walking much better by the time I got home. Gave him some vitamins mixed with water by dropper last night and this morning. Have water and food in his cage with him so it is available when he wants it.
