My chick is scurrying around like a drunk! My chick is walking round like a drunk, its legs are all over the place, i heard chicks can get this condition called "spradle legs" is it, when young, but they are around a month old. It spends most of the time on the floor, and falling over. It walks weirdly and also sits differently. Advice on what to do, or if this condition is fatal/permanent would be great. Cheers, Leon.
