I have a rhode island red chick and it was walking fine until about a week ago and I can't figure out why but it is eating and drinking normally and has a foot that is working better than the other. I also had another rhode island red chick that had the same problem but randomly started walking a week to a week and a half later and is fine now but when it was sick I put the other rhode island red chick in with it so it wouldnt be lonely and that is when the other one started having problems. Do you think it is just a short illness that will pass or something more serious? Or do rhode island reds just have a growth problem when they are chicks maybe passed down from their parents? Please tell me if you know.
