So here we are, a week later... She is doing fantastic!!!!! Running around eatting and drinking. She snuggles up to her stuffy all the time, she even pecks at it, like it's her new best friend. We are hoping to bring in 2 more babies her age, so she will have more her age to grow up with.. Since...
She is eatting the Medicated with Amprolium in the Purina Medicated crumble feed. Plus she is drinking alot of the water which I put "save a chick" in with the probiotics/probiotics and electrolyte. Her poops are now brown but slightly watery. She does still help when she pushes to poo
1st aid kits are in full effect. So glad I put these together after a year of owning chickens. I keep adding to it, but everything needs to be handy when its late at night and I see any of my girls suffering
Sheupdate on baby chick... She was found snuggled inter her stuffed animal this morning.. Looked like she did a massive poop, twice in the night, some red in her poo. But she is alive and made it thru the night!!!!!!!
Thank you everyone cor setting me straite. I will never change my routine again
My first few batches I got in the late Fall. So I kept heat lamp running around the clock.. We had a mild winter so by December, they went to the coop outside. Our new batches over the winter, stayed indoors with heat lamp.. (We have a baby coop we keep in the basement since we always order meat...
There was red in the poop of the ones that died. This one poops white. I have the probiotics going thru her food n water, heat lamp on, and now..... A stuffy to snuggle with... Fingers crossed, I wont be sleeping much tonight... I work at a Veterinary Hospital I will bring in a poop sample to...
House at 80.. And she was staying away from ber heat lamp.. So i turned it off, but I have it back on. I'm not going to risk loosing her because of my stupidity.. This is a hard lesson to learn.. 5 flocks and I go and screw this one up. Ugh
I thought the same about the alone and chirping part.
She did have a heat lamp, but was staying out of the source, so I figured she was getting too hot ainve the hoise is at about 80degrees. I will turn lamp back on.
I did give her a tablespoon of moisten medicated probiotc crumble.
I'm done...
I have coconut oil, I will put in top end lol. She did take a good amount of soggy crumble.. She even tried the slop on her own. Maybe warm food/water was a good idea.
Thank you for the oil tip.. I read to use oil on vent of new chicks to prevent pasty butt. And because she keeps baring down and...
No more til I know what went wrong with this batch.. Dont want to mix ill with new. She is inside. Room temp. She isnt eatting. Just standing and chirping. I just moistened some medicated crumble with probiotics water.. Going to try to feed her now. She did scream and squirted a little poop again.
1wk old chick... Already lost her 5 siblings (of various breeds we got at tbe chick supply store)( slight red found. But vents looked great)
She tries to poop, screams, than nothing.. Just standing there in the dark, chirping none stop.
