We brought home 6 new chicks within the past 5 days. The first 3 days every one was fine, but then one girl we noticed was... calmer than the rest. She was alert, eating drinking and moving, she just seemed to like to sleep. Then last night she looked funny sleeping, and when I went to pick her up, she barely was moving her head. Did some digging and sat up all night with her on some ones chest being given drops of water with sugar and honey, also boiled an egg and gave egg yolk and her starter feed. This morning she seemed alert again and was moving about, but then this afternoon is non responsive. She is not moving at all now, but still breathing. There hasn't been any swelling anywhere, no diarreha or bloody stool. Since we found her last night she hasn't been down with any of the other chicks. What is causing this? Could it spread to the other 5 chicks? Is there any thing that might pull her out of this? Can any body help answer my questions? Please please please!
