Lethargic chick not lifting her head easily

I have the same issue this morning but all of a sudden and the head is tucked way under and flopping around. I gave Corid water and hoping for the best. How to be protect my other 2 chicks? 5 weeks and they were all fine last night. Came on fast. I have separated them and bleached the bin and water and food containers, rinsed well and dried. It seems like myrecks to me. Do they get it this young? One of sick chickens is a feed store chick and so I have one feed store chick left and the sole survivor of an incubator hatch.

Mareks can come on at any time if it's in the environment. Unlikelyin brooder chicks. I think what you have is a nutrient deficiency rather than a disease. Could be chicken epilepsy or wry-neck. Give them all vitamin E. If it's wry neck it may take a couple days to see any improvement.
