    Baby chick can’t or won’t walk please help!!

    I just bought a polish chick today who isn’t standing or walking. She just sleeps and lays down. If one of the other girls steps on her she’ll slide over and they push her to food and water. She has little hard circles where it looks like she lays on her legs. What could be wrong and will she be ok?

    Please help! My barred rock is very listless and lethargic. She’s just standing around. Isn’t eating or drinking.
