Me and my family ordered 15 chickens and they arived last Tuesday on 9/13/16.
They have all been very healthy and happy babies and are all so very cute...
Today I came back fom school and went to check on them and I noticed one of them was so tired that when I held her in my hand, she would imediately go to sleep.
Later we checked on them and she was dying.... her eyes were closed and she looked like she was sleeping.
We put the other chicks in a seperate area so we could clean the brooder and when I felt her crop I noticed it was squishy and bloated.
I went on back yard chicken for information and am still not sure what she has....
We tried mixing feed and honey and water... she had trouble eating it and as soon as she drank the smallest peck the next second she was throwing it up.
We looked again and decided to try giving her sugar water.
I dipped her beak in it and she drank it... she seemed to enjoy it but then she threw it up too....
She won't open her eyes, and she has not pooped.
We are very worried and are not sure if she will make it through the night...
The others all seem very happy and packed together to sleep just a little while ago.
Please help if you can!
