Unbalanced serama

[dannichols525]

When this young bird hatched she was different from the rest. While she was able to walk, it was obvious she had balance problems and walked with a teetering gait. As a newborn chick I doubted that she would survive and separated her from the rest. In no way could she compete for food and water. I kept her in the house with a nest mate for company. In spite of her handicap she has grown into a beautiful bird. Her balance problem has not improved so she will spend her days here in the house sitting on my knee.
