ha...any of my chicks quiet and clam...haha.
i do have 2 australorps who are 'calm' but they still scurry about!
will get one of my kids animals...
thanks.
ps...they were pecking at her butt, beak, head, running over her, etc.
she does take fluids great!!!
i just moved her to a 'shoe box' seperate from the others...thinking she will not get picked on. the other did leave her alone for the most part.
thanks again for all your help. will update later tonight or in the morning.
how long before she might perk up?
is it days, hours, ???
she has opened her eyes a few times and flopped over when i was giving her water; however, she just looks like she is on her way out.
i do hope she is strong enough and will recover.
ok...just gave some pedialite (kids stuff)...sugar water basically. she loved it. got her to open her eyes. put her back to rest. how often and how much should i give it to her???
all other (9) chicks doing great!
dying chick will not drink anything. i keep trying to dip beak in water...but she flutters when i do it.
i just hate thinking of taking her life, but do not want her to suffer if there is no chance she can make it!
no pasty butt...not eating, drinking. i dip her beak in water and she flutters a bit. she does not open her eyes. she just lays there and does nothing. has not moved in over 18 hours.
what do i do?????
