Today one of our two week old silkies suddenly started making a horrible nise when it breathed, like rails or Stridor. When I looked in the brooder it was lying down. I picked it up and one foot is curled up loosly, and it still walks but with the foot curled up & limping. This chick hatched perfectly, and has grown perfectly, everything has been fine until today.
It hasn't made the noise since that few times. No discharge, no loose stools, I saw it drinking but havent seen it eat and it's crop seems empty. I am holding it now and it is twitching a little every second or two, almost like a quick head shake.
Could it have choked or aspirated and has nerological damage? I dont know what could be wrong ?!
I put some nutridrench in the chicks waterer, but dont know what else to do. Thank you for any advice!
