I have a 3-week old chick that I found unable to walk. I don’t know what happened to it because I was away for a few days. My S/O was feeding and watering them and found my Brahma laying on its back wedged between feeder and brooder wall.
I separated and have been giving electrolytes and vitamin E. The chick has improved a bunch since I started the regimen but still seems to have balance issues.
The first day she could not even stand on her own. She does breath a little heavy and I’m very concerned about the possibility of mareks. She did lots of stumbling and getting stuck on her side for about 48 hrs. She still stumbles forward and backwards but has regained her ability to stand on her own.
she is vaccinated for cocci and mareks. However I know the vaccine isn’t 100% her behavior very much mirrored videos I’ve seen of mareks.
How do I know what this chick has?
