    New chick eyes barely opened dying

    I have a 2 day old Delaware. Her eyes kept shutting. Her legs got weak Her eyes looked green around them. I gave her 1 drop of Nutri-drench and electrolytes. We got 10 that we pre ordered, the rest seem fine. She’s not gonna make it. Any ideas here. I realize this isn’t much info. Betsyg16
