One month chick - shaking & stumbling ?

[ChichiMama]

My chick is one month old- all of a sudden she is shaking and stumbling. She was not like this all day.. I am separating her from the others for a bit until I figure this out. It’s not just her legs... bc she is shaking and just not knowing what to do- is this a nervous system issue . She is distressed bc I separated her- I’m trying to keep her warm while I soothe her ... advice please?

Can you post a video of her? Upload to youtube and provide a link.

What do you feed her and how is she normally housed?
A photo of her poop would be good too.

I would keep her relatively warm. See if she will take a few sips of water for you out of a shallow cup.
Let us know how she is doing.

Where did the chick come from? I would try to get her drinking water and if you can get Poultry Cell or NutriDrench to give her that wouls be good. There is a disease that affects chicks under a month of age, called AE (avian encephalomyelitis or epidemic tremors.) Symptoms include tremoring, lameness, imbalance, and chicks may lie on their sides.

Hopefully, it is just something less serious, and I would get it drinking and eating. Keep it warm.

We hatched them ourselves in incubators from our own chickens’ eggs...

Thank you SO much for all your replies... I truly appreciate the help...

 

[ChichiMama]

And are any of these possible illnesses contagious?? Bc I have several chicks that were hatched with her.

I would try the vitamins to see if that helps.
Possibly a genetic or developmental issue.

Sorry about your chick. It doesn’t look like AE in the video. Cannyou get some Poultry NutriDrench or Poultry Cell today and give it a few drops daily? Is she eating and drinking? What do you mean about her eye—can you be more specific? Is she a frizzle? I think they can suffer from problems, but I have no experience with them.
