Subject: Chick splits!

Hi! I'm hoping you can help with my poor little chick! She's 4 weeks old and has been fine up until 3 days ago. She's been in a brooder with 14 other chicks and 3 days ago we found her not able to use her legs. One goes straight out in front of her and the other shoots straight behind her. She flaps around helplessly in the splits position. She's eating and drinking and seems in otherwise good spirits. She does not seem to be in pain when I 'exercise' her legs, bending and flexing. If I tuck her legs and help position her, she can hold her position, but the moment she tries to move her legs go right back to the splits. I've taken a few pictures which I will send to your email and can take more if you need to see something specific. I tried to show her on my hand in the 'perch' position, as well as the splits, a couple of upside down pics and with her legs hanging straight down. I just have no clue how to help her, or even if she's 'help-able'. Anything you can tell me is greatly appreciated!
