OK I have a weak chick, I noticed the other day when I moved them to a new brooder one not acting right. Off alone laying around alot. I got them about a two weeks ago so they look to be about 4 weeks old now. This chick looks now as if it cant support its own legs and head kinda droopy. When I found it in the brooder today it was all laid over on its side and looked as if it was gasping for breath. I scooped it up and went in the house. Its head kinda looked as if it had jello for a neck, eyes closed and head just bobbling around. Also noticed like it was burping up water or throwing it up, can chickens even do that?
So after several hours of laying on a blanket on the couch with me, eyes opening alittle more and breathing better. But it still seems as though it cant support itself. Legs tucked up under and head pulled in. Anyone had this happen before?
Any help would be great. Thanks
Rusty
