Mail order chicks arrived on Monday. All chicks were well, active and happy except one little red star girl who was squished under all the other chicks. I have isolated her in the mailer box (for a brooder for her) with a warm snuggle inside to keep the temp up and steady. I have been hand feeding her chick starter mixed with water and quickchick and sugar which she is eating well. However, she still cannot walk on her own. She has no sense of balance and when propped up in a corner, she pushes her legs streight under her so she looks upright like a person. When she get tired, she falls over. She seemed to improve a little yesterday, but no improvement today. She can sit upright (until she tries to move and falls over again). She is bright eyed and noisey. I am not sure what to make of her condition. Advise would be appreciated.
