I mix it with his water, just a small spoonful and squirt of each.

Im very careful.

So my baby finally had ducklings! 2 in fact !

But we noticed one of them..is not right.

He CANNOT walk, he falls over. sometimes on his back, whenever he tries he just falls over.

but i noticed he shakes whenever he puts weights on his legs,

Even so when he drinks water he tends to have a muscle spasm.

he is constantly shaking.

Now he IS eating and drinking. Both his legs move in the air. So they arent broken.

Its just whenever he walks he falls over after trying. And he is constantly shaking even when i hold him to give him water.

Its obviously a birth defect.

He is smaller then his brother.

I pray he survives but he seems completely normal except for the constant impersonation of a tornado.

But my question is,

1. Is this cerebral palsy??

2. Has this happened to anybody else?

3. Any tips or ideas on how to help the poor guy?

I have hatched many chicks and out of so many there is one that seems to have Cerebral palsy. She is now 5 weeks old and is doing better with the new bantam hatchlings. Her peers are way beyond her. She tweets loudly when walk, shakes a bit when held steady for drinking, foot often turns tensely, balance is terrible and she can't walk well. She is smaller and seems uncomfortable. In couple of weeks I'll perhaps try to make youtube video-this seems very rare.

It doesn't sound rare, it sounds like either a neurological problem, deformity or perhaps more likely a nutrient deficiency

Plenty of the time, unless it's neurological, it can be corrected while young, being 5 weeks she may now be permanently disabled

A video would be interesting to see

Here is the video just uploaded of Chick with Cerebral palsy type symptoms... or maybe just everything is wrong.. Compared to fellow hatchmates also here in video
