Welcome to BYC. How old is it and can you post pictures of it?

 

[getaclue]

Brooder temp? How old is chick? When you brought it home, did you dip it's beak in the water once to teach it to drink? Are you feeding it chick starter?

i dipped its beak and its been doing this

 

[lincoln allen 456]

it's about a couple a weeks old I found it without its mother limping and when I put it with its mother it wouldn't keep up and the other chicks were pecking at it

 

[lincoln allen 456]

so I took it is kept in a shoebox with food and water and it fell asleep and never woke up when I dipped its beak in the water a few min before

 

[getaclue]

Have you separated it, and put it in a brooder? At 2 weeks, the temp should be 85 in the warmest part, less at the other end. Do you have Gatorade, or Powerade on hand? A dropper full of that, won't hurt. That will hold you, until you can get some Nutri-drench, and electrolytes.
