Yo les comento que tengo un polluelo que nació hace 2 semanas y 3 días, no sabe caminar, es normal o es algo grave?
Yo vi que el llora porque no puede caminar, ya que cuando el llora y lo paro el deja de llorar, ayuda que hago?

¿Sobre qué especie de bebé preguntas? Cuéntenos más sobre sus aves para que podamos ser de ayuda. Además, si puedes traducir tu texto en inglés recibirás más ayuda. Tuve que ir a un sitio de traducción para ver qué preguntabas.

( What species of baby are you asking about? Tell us more about your birds so we can be of help. Also, if you can translate your text in English you will receive more help. I had to go to a translating site to see what you were inquiring about.)

I did a translator search to see what was being asked and this is the language conversion =

I tell you that I have a chick that was born 2 weeks and 3 days ago, it doesn't know how to walk, is it normal or is it something serious?
I saw that he cries because he can't walk, because when he cries and I stop him he stops crying, help what do I do?

He is a 3-week-old budgie. When I make him walk, he goes to his left side and stays there. He spends the whole day in that position, and no feathers grow on that side.

Hi Carlos, I don't know what experience you have with raising birds so if you would like to share more information please do. Three weeks is quite young to have expectations of walking and I am concerned about the no growth of feathers on the left side. If you can provide more information that would be helpful. Do you have the parent birds and are there any siblings or did you purchase a single chick to raise? If so what are you feeding the baby? I'm attaching a YouTube video for you to watch the progression of a chicks growth so you may compare it to your chick. The beginning of the video shows his adult pair of birds, also shows them mating and then the hen in the box getting ready to lay. If anyone is offended by the mating then don't watch the video. It's the following daily charted video growth of a chick I think is helpful for people to see the process of a budgie growing into a flighted bird. Also, Carlos... can you provide any photos of your baby?

Hola Carlos,

Did you fix the bedding in the nestbox? It is very important for a growing chick and can effect leg strength and development. Without good bedding, you risk splayed legs (spradle leg) and that usually effects the birds ability to walk with ease.

As said above, this chick is still very young to be walking around so much. At this age they stay huddled together in the nest box and walk only a little around inside their nestbox.

@Mockinbirdiva Great video!
There was a little more info in prev thread;
I gave pointers to fix the bare nest box and clean their dirty feet.

Yes, but he lies on his left side, and on that side he doesn't get any feathers and that's where he falls. When I make him try to walk he falls to the left side, and when I push him to the right side he starts crying and goes back to the left side by himself.

Hi Zara, just saw your tag. I had not seen the first post about this chick. Looks like it is the only chick and no parents. Glad you mentioned the bedding and if it is the only chick it would also benefit from a couple of small soft toys or sock bundles to help it have some stability and company/warmth. Did they give a box temp? Not sure if that is a nest box by the photo.

Carlos, at the current age of the chick I would not try to make him walk any. Just feed and place back in the box. Make sure as Zara said about putting nesting material in the box to prevent the legs from becoming splayed out to the side. This is extremely vital you do this. Is this the only baby? No parents? If is is the only chick you can also make some little material bundles close to the size of the chick to keep it company as if it had other siblings to lean on for warmth. There are a couple of photos in the breeders boulevard forum section but I don't have time at the moment to look for it.

This thread is old but has a wealth of information when one of our members was hand raising a single budgie chick. It's many pages long but I do think you will get some useful information from reading the entire story and do look through all of the links posted on some of the pages. When it comes to raising tiny chicks you can never have enough knowledge.. I think I linked on the 3rd page specifically so you could see how to make some little soft "buddies" from cloth to give your little one some company if it's in a nest all by itself ..

Hello, I am updating the information because my chick has regurgitated again. I don't know if it is vomit or regurgitation. Also, in its cloaca, white poop appeared with yellow serum stuck to it. Here are the photos I took:

Please help me know what I have to do because I don't have an avian veterinarian available at the moment.

Hola, ¿puedes tomar una foto de la caja nido actual en la que tienes a tu bebé? El vómito definitivamente no es bueno. No hemos cubierto muchos detalles contigo en la alimentación manual, así que te haré algunas preguntas. ¿A qué temperatura está la fórmula? ¿Cuál es la temperatura de la caja (la llamamos criadora)? ¿Puedes pesar al bebé a diario con una báscula que mida en gramos? Sospecho que una infección bacteriana es la causa del vómito. ¿Existe la posibilidad de que haya un veterinario en tu región que pueda echarle un vistazo al bebé? Un veterinario puede hacer un cultivo de una muestra del vómito para ver si se trata de una infección bacteriana o un posible hongo. Es realmente imperativo que le hagas un examen al bebé o corres el riesgo de perderlo. Mantenlo abrigado e hidratado. Creo que lo estabas alimentando con avena molida. ¿Qué edad tiene el bebé ahora? ¿Puedes proporcionarme una foto actual del bebé?


Translated to English :

(Hi, Can you take a photo of the current nest box you have your baby in? The vomiting is definitly not good. We haven't covered a lot of specifics with you in hand feeding so I will ask a few questions. What temperature is the formula? What is the temperature of the box ( we call it a brooder). Are you able to weigh the baby on a daily basis with a scale that measures in grams? I'm suspicious of a bacterial infection for the cause of the vomiting. Is there any possibility there is a vet in your region to have a look at the baby? A sample of the vomit can be cultured by a vet to see if it is a bacterial infection or a possible fungus. It really is imperative you have the baby looked at it or you can risk losing it. Keep it warm and hydrated. I think you were feeding it ground oats? How old is the baby now and can you provide a current photo of the baby? )

Carlos, your chick should not be regurgitating or vomiting at all. Can we see what the crop looks like? How many cc's of formula are you feeding this baby? Are you feeding with a syringe or spoon? Is it possible you are overfeeding and causing any formula to come back up?


Translated:
Carlos, tu polluelo no debería estar regurgitando ni vomitando en absoluto. ¿Podemos ver cómo luce el buche? ¿Cuántos centímetros cúbicos de fórmula le estás dando a este bebé? ¿Lo estás alimentando con una jeringa o una cuchara? ¿Es posible que estés sobrealimentándolo y provocando que la fórmula regrese?
