Need help with my sick chick please!

I have a newborn doing the same thing. Scooting around on it's butt. The legs aren't normal and it will probably never walk. But I see no need to separate mine. It's not a disease that others will catch. And the other chicks snuggle up with it when they sleep. If they are going to have a short life we might as well make it pleasant.

 

That's good that it can stand. I just sprinkle food in front of it and mine will nibble a little. But I'm not having much luck getting him to drink.
One thing that chicks do like is scrambled egg mashed up real fine. Sometimes they will eat that when they won't eat anything else.
I have had chicks that were just lazy and would rather eat sitting down.

 

If it doesn't improve then I guess you'll have to make the decision about whether to keep a crippled chicken or put it down. I kept one for 2 years until it died. She wasn't able to walk at all but I built a little high chair so she could exercise her legs and she laid on her side the rest of the time in a cage. She went on camping trips with us and the kids all loved her because they could carry her around and play with her. But it's like having a helpless baby around that never grows up. I don't regret keeping her but not everyone would want to do it. It's a tough decision that I wouldn't wish for anyone.

 

Do you know if your chick was vaccinated for Mareks? Those are the exact symptoms of Mareks disease.
