Sick chick - can't walk. Check out video and help out with cause, pls

[The Poacher]

Hi Y'all,

I'm in Sweden and have been checking out this site since we decided to start raising chicks. We have hatched two dozen chick around April firs and all is well. Or used to be...

Yesterday as I came home from work and let the chicks run free in the garden one of them stayed in the chick-house. It was a shy one that does not permit any close encounters but now it just stayed in a coop and I could pick it up and carry it outside.

As I place it on the ground I realize that the legs does not support her/him properly.

It could take a few steps and then fell over. It did NOT look good. After a while I decided that this is not OK and he/she literally got the ax.

Now I worry a bit that it might be some disease and that it might spread.

Please check out the video and give me your two cents...

And it sounds like it might be a nerve disorder.
However, there are many that can spread. I suggest keeping the coop really clean and properly disposing of said chicks body.

Good luck!
