    lethargic chick 2 wks old, help me figure out what to do!

    I want to update everyone and say THANK YOU! again for your suggestions. After eating quite a bit of chick grit and having a little buttermilk twice last night, my EE chick seemed a little more comfortable. This morning, she seemed a LOT more comfortable. She’s up and walking around more. Still...

    Thank you very much for the idea, and providing the ratio! I think perhaps I will try ACV tomorrow. I did give everything a big scrub this morning and changed all of the bedding. Have also been cleaning the waterer throughout the day. Thanks also for the good thoughts. Fingers crossed.

    Thank you! I just gave her a little buttermilk and set her up in front of some grit and she was pretty enthusiastic (for a sick chick) about both of them. Now she's resting again. Hope this might help her...

    Thanks so much! I will definitely keep her eating/drinking and give them all a little buttermilk. Her crop was pretty empty this morning (as far as I can tell, as I said, I'm new at this) and filled up a bit after I fed her some egg yoke and chick starter. Her crop now feels fuller and fairly...

    Well, turns out my feed store is out of Corid and I live on an island, they are my only source (I tried calling a vet, who didn't have any either). I ordered some over the phone after calling, like, six different sources on the mainland, but it will take days to get here. Does anyone have any...

    Just wanted to update, she ate a bit more last night and this morning, but doesn't want to drink much and still seems tired, breathing heavily. I am going to get the medicine this morning, and will treat all of my chicks, but does anyone have thoughts based on those photos? Thanks for reading.

    I don't have any Corid but I can get some from my feed supply place, probably not until tomorrow morning. Here's two I just took of her, a (small) recent poop and the brooder. It is two large cardboard boxes attached to one another.

    Hi all, I have a 2.5 week old Easter Egger who I got as a day-old chick (along with 9 other chicks). Everyone has been fine until this EE chick started to seem lethargic two days ago. She mostly wanted to lay down, and, though she was still eating and drinking a bit, not nearly as much as the...
