My baby chick

[Htninstructinfarmer]

Was it hatched by you or your hen?
Or purchased?
Are there other chicks, or only this one?
Are the toes curled?
What kind of bedding are you using?
Check it's eyes, nose & ear area, do you see any discharge?

Picture and/or video would help us see what's going on ... To do a video, you must post to YouTube prior to linking to this site. Keep it warm & if it's with others make sure they don't trample it. IF you try to give it any liquid be very careful, put a drop at the tip of its beak & not in its mouth to prevent aspiration.

I put a video up so you could see

My guess is Wry Neck which is a Vitamin E deficiency & curable, from my notes: Wry Neck - Vitamin E 400IU & Selenium 25mcg 2 - 3x day, NutriDrench, Thiamine/Vit B1, tuna, liver

Could it be avian encephalomyelitis, epidemic tremors?

Have you looked it up Encephalomalacia, I did ... Vitamin E deficiency so
Encephalomalacia (crazy chick disease). The signs are associated to the central nervous system lesions. They include ataxia, disequilibrium, falling on the back, frequent movements with the wings, strongly stretched legs (clonic spasms) and twisting of the head (435 and 436).https://www.thepoultrysite.com/publications/diseases-of-poultry/218/vitamin-e-deficiency

What is encephalomalacia disease in chicks?
A vitamin E deficiency results in a condition known as 'crazy chick disease' or encephalomalacia (softening of the brain). In chicks, it usually occurs between 15-30 days of age. Vitamin E is required for reproduction as well as the normal integrity of the central nervous and muscular systems.

It looks like wry neck. Treat with vitamin E and egg.

It is similar to wry neck, neurological symptoms. I agree with giving vitamins, and maybe extra vitamin E. Human E and B complex can also be given. Scrambled egg bits daily will supply selenium.

Not that i can tell. It looks like it tries to. But when you dip the tip of his beak it freaks and shakes worse and peeps like crazy. It has pooped once

Have you checked it’s vent to see if it’s pasty butt? Poop blocking vent. What’s the temp of your brooder should be about 95
