1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.

Silkie x D'uccle mix. 1 out of 7 hatched last month. The 6 others are walking ok.

2) What is the behavior, exactly.

Chick wobbles while standing and walking. Often lays down. Look like one leg is more limp?

3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?

I noticed about 3-4 days ago.

4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?

No.

5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.

I am inexperienced so can't tell. No bleeding.

6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.

Not really. Broody can be clumsy and step on them when younger.

7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.

Yes. Eating and drinking ok

8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.

Not sure. Hard to tell apart from other chicks' poop.

9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?

They all had corrid two weeks ago due to some red in poop. They all have been drinking water mixed with vitamins.


10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?

Not sure. Vet open on weekdays only.

11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.

12) Describe the housing/bedding in use

Nesting material since the broody taught them to eat pine shavings -_-

Ok there hasn't been much change with the baby. Still trembling with weather left let. Also, looks like baby sitting with one leg out was just a one time occurrence since baby normally sits like this.
