I went out to feed the flock this morning and found one of my 2m old chicks alone and not coming to me for food. I walked over to her and noticed she was having difficulty moving so I picked her up to check her for injuries. When I did so her head dropped down and it kind of went crazy like trying to peck my hand super fast. This didn't stop until I put her down. Once I put her down she stops the pecking but it takes her a few seconds to regain control of her head.
I assumed this was wry neck so did my research and found that this is usually a vitamin deficiency or from injury.
I have put her in a separate cage to watch her and keep her from further injury and have since noticed she isn't pooping. I checked her for pasty butt but from what I can see everything is normal down there.
She can eat and drink by her self but is having difficulty walking around without the help of her flapping wings.
I'm at a loss and dont seem to be finding anything to help me figure out what is wrong. Any ideas would be extreamly helpful!!!
