help! something wrong with chick!

[Wyorp Rock]

What does her poop look like?
What do you feed?
Will she eat/drink on her own?
How long have you had her?

Can you post some more photos of her - from the front? Can she move her legs, do they respond when you move them or is it like she's paralyzed?
Have you checked for any injury, especially to the legs and wing?

How old is the feed?

 

[martins show birds]

a year maybe more

 

[martins show birds]

we have been feeding it to our birds for a couple years with no problems

 

[martins show birds]

we get more every year. it is stored in 55 gaiion drums that where used to hold paint at the sawmill beside our house

Is she better today?
It's very hard to know what's going on with her, but if she's having difficulty walking and her wings won't move, I would be looking at disease like Marek's, nutritional deficiency or possibly moldy feed.
Have you checked the feed to see if there's any spots in there that's moldy?

I would try vitamin therapy - for her give 1/2 tablet of vitamin B-Complex and 400IU Vitamin E daily. Give a daily treat of egg. See if that makes any difference.

That's no good.
Can you separate her and provide her with some fresh food and poultry vitamins?
A hard boiled or scrambled egg can be given to her, but she needs to be hydrated first.

You will want to get fresh feed for all the others as well. An all flock/flock raiser feed would be good to use since it seems you have different age groups (and genders too?).

Nutritional content of feed really starts to falter, especially with vitamins/minerals after 6weeks or so. Feed that is a year old is not going to be that nutritional unless it's sealed very well and kept in a climate controlled area.
