I posted this on a different section and I don't think it was the right one. I will just copy paste the whole thing.


There are 6 chickens about 4 weeks old. The problem is that one of them started acting weird since this morning. I think she eats and drinks normally but other than that all she does is stay and look around. The other chickens are active, they run and they keep busy. When I try to grab them all run except her. Now here's the twist. They were 9 in the beginning. 3 of them died and they all had this same behavior. I looked all over the internet but I can't find anything. They don't have any bumps on them, the poop looks normal, they are warm... they just look like they have no energy. I bought vitamins and other things the woman that sold them to me recommended. One mistake was that I think I did was taking them outside about 1 week ago.. but they weren't cold as the temperature was like 30C+.

If anyone has experienced anything like this, please help.

EDIT: And one thing I forgot. The 3 chickens that died earlier this week seemed like they stopped growing even though they were eating and drinking normally. This one doesn't seem to have this problem at the moment. And I'm afraid that another one starts to look drained of energy too.
 
I have a chick that is just sitting with it's eyes closed. It is kind of leaning backwards and occasionally flopping onto it's back. It has a high pitched chirp and cheeps every second nonstop. It can't walk it just sort of stumbles around. Is this what your chick has?
