New chick raising legs above head HELP!

[Crimsonbluewolf]

I have a silkie that hatched yesterday. Got it in a brooder and it seemed fine, running around, pecking at feed, ect. 4 hours later I come home from work and it can't walk. It will move its legs above its head but can't keep balance. I can still get it to eat and drink.
Can't seem to imbed video, but it's posted here: https://m.facebook.com/groups/2204803647?view=permalink&id=10157545116548648

I would do some vitamin supplementing to see if it improves. Deficiencies can cause neuro-muscular issues. Supplement B vitamins and E and selenium.

This has info on dosing the E and selenium, B's are water soluble so no risk of too much with those: https://www.raising-happy-chickens.com/wry-neck.html

sav-A-chick electrolytes works really well for improving strength. mix in a little with her water, and see if she'll drink it. the electrolytes have a certain flavor that make the chickens want to drink it more, so it keeps them hydrated as well. good luck!
