Last night when checking my small flock of 4 week old(ish) birds, I noticed one of them Laying in their sand tray. I thought that she might be dead, but when I picked her up she did struggle a little trying to get awaybut she is hanging her head. She proceeded to eat a few crumbles of chic starter/grower. I changed out the water and added some probiotic and electrolyte formula and set the chick next to it to drink. It did consume a small amount of water.
This morning it is up and moving around slowly, still eating and drinking lightly, but she has no balance. She is hanging her head and when she put her head between her legs, she actually did a somersault.
I don't know if it is a crop problem (I am new to chickens and don't even know what a crop is or how to check it), or if it is cocci or what. Can anyone help me identify what she has and recommend a solution?
THank you in advance.
