Hi, We picked up 13 baby chicks last Saturday. They were born Tuesday and Wednesday, so they are all just over a week old. One Black Australorp is now having what looks like seizures. I heard louder then normal chirping and looked and say it thrashing around. I thought it maybe was just playing or it had been picked on. She sopped and stood still and then walked around so I went back to work. But I heard it again, looked, same thing. I started watching and this happen every minute or so. I didn't want to others around her when it happened and I didn't know if this meant she was sick, so I put her in a separate box, with water and heat light. It continued to happen, but between she was so upset trying to get out. I waited about an hour. The seizures stopped. That would have been around 7:00 pm. Went to bed at 11:00 still all quiet. Now this morning she is doing it again. I have seen posts for nutrition support, but they all seem to be with older chicks. What can we do for a week old bay chick. Video won't attach, but can email possibly to anyone who may have some advise
