Well lucky (the chick I had to help a little) was great eating, running around, drinking etc....
This morning I went down to clean, feed and water them and Lucky was breathing heavy and lethargic. He seems to be getting worse. The others were starting to pick on him a bit so I put him in a small bucket my himself just at the edge of the heat so he doesnt get too hot.

Not sure what went wrong with him, so we are a bit sad today.

Any suggestions?
 
i'm so sorry! i feel so bad for little lucky :(... have you tried giving him electrolytes/sugar in his water? ... i'm new at this so i don't have any real suggestions but maybe my post can bump the thread up and someone else with more experience will read it... I hope lucky's okay!!
 
I am sad to report that lucky passed on this afternoon.... we will miss him but I am glad I got some pictures of him when he was happy.
 
No!!! i was rooting for the little guy

at least he was able to pass on knowing that he was loved... you did everything that you could and i'm sure he appreciated it
 
I know so little about chickens but what I do know about birds in general is that they are very fragile and can die at a moments notice.

I was really hoping he would make it as well... He will be buried up on the hill with several dogs and one of our horses.

Animals here are pets first and formost.

Thank you for caring :)
