    Day old chick.... Need help/info...

    She just started this in the past 4-5 hours. When I give her the water/sugarwater she acts like she has a hard time swallowing.

    Day old chick.... Need help/info...

    Thanks Kathy. I am hoping for the best, but she just seems very lethargic... I have sugar water in one waterer and one waterer just plain water. She is in her own little area now with the heat lamp.

    To be honest, I haven't been watching them constantly, but every time I have gone to the brooder for the past 4 hours (about 8 times) she is in one spot standing. So I don't know if she is going around and then just coming back to the same exact spot and standing there, or if she hasn't moved. (...

    Day old chick.... Need help/info...

    Hey all, I just received an order from meyer hatchery this morning, 1 of the 3 chicks, which is a partridge rock, has a very distended stomach and when I pick her (hopefully) up she keeps her eyes closed. She hasn't moved much in the past 4 hours, when I first put her in the brooder she did eat...
