Doesn't sound good  :(  Keep her isolated freom your other birds.

Did you breed her or get her from a breeder ?

we got her from a breeder and i have put her in the house in a brooder box so she is nice and warm. i think she may have hurt her leg from falling off a perch and got cold.But we will see

does her leg feel warm to the touch compared to her other leg?
Staffies are softer than you think.

they both feel the same to me   :unsure: but when she tries to walk she has no balance and falls over she does not seem to want to eat or drink and has one eye closed i really have no clue what to do for her  :( she does hold one closer to her if she is on her back.

i wish you all the best with your baby chick,i had my small blue silkie turn ill last week,i isolater her and took her indoors,she had an eye infection but she also did not seem to be growing,i guess she was the "runt".

i was bathing her eye with warm salty water and i thought i was winning,unfortuneately she died this morning.

i had grown quite attached to her :(

 :( well i did have the joy of having the baby black rock for 6 weeks (she was 12 weeks) but there was nothing that could have been done so we took her home and hubby did the deed the next day. (coal) the black rock had broken her little leg up by the hip. :(
