My month old chick cant walk at all

[woahhstephy]

She tends to chirp a lot when eating but also when she’s just in her box. If she is paralyzed at her legs, how could I go about getting her exercise? Also, do you think this is something that’s contagious? I want her to be with her flock but I’m scared if the others can get sick. I can’t really find any other posts with her condition. There was one that was very similar but they ended up putting their chick down.

Doubtful this is something contagious.

You can try a chick chair to keep her more upright. There are similar threads, unfortunately chicks with issues like this do not make it or at some point the keeper must consider the quality of life.

If she's unable to get around on her own, then putting her with her flock would not be a good idea imho. She may get picked on or trampled. You could take her for visits while you are with her so she can see the others.
