Polish Chick Only Walking Backwards!!!

[FurandFeatherMom086]

Hey Yall! I really need some help, advice or reassurance that my baby will be ok!!
I have a 2 month old Polish Chick. On Wednesday, everything was normal and fine! Thursday it cant stand or walk forward! If I put it on the floor ,it will only scoot backwards
It is eating and drinking like normal, I have to help it and hold the bowl for it. Pooping normal as well. It lays with its legs stright out but can move them, will wrap its feet around my fingers and all, so I know it can move them.
Anyone know why in the world this poor thing can not walk forward?! Its literally breaking my heart!!!!
I'll attach photo and video if I can!

Can she NOT walk forward or will she not walk forward (like is it impossible for her to walk forward or is she just reluctant to do so)? I haven’t experienced this before, but maybe check to see if there’s anything on her face that might be making her uncomfortable (walking backwards to avoid it). It’s good she’s eating and drinking okay, though. Hopefully someone with more experience will see this and give you some advice .

It's like it cant walk forward, almost like its forgot how too and if you try to help it walk forward its legs just stiffin up. Balance is off some too

Poor little bean! Yeah, I’m afraid I can’t help you here. Keeping my fingers crossed someone has had experience with this. I’m guessing you checked out her legs and joints and everything - you said her toes curl around your finger, so that sounds like the nerves are working okay. Very strange. Again, hope someone else can help!

I know, makes me so sad. Yeah, legs and joints appear to be ok but I'm not 100% sure how to check the joints out and all. I first thought nerves too but with her able to bend her toes...it made me question it more. Shes such a sweet and beautiful baby Thank You though. ❤
