⚠️URGENT! I think my chick is dying!

[Paulinacasas_]

I was thinking kitchen napkins/paper towels....but dirt is good.
Yes you can cover the flooring of the whole box with an inch or two of dirt.

Ah okay I think I'll do the dirt so that they have something to play in and dig, thank you!

Oh ok.

Yeah, thank you for your concern If I saw that in someone's post/image I would be worried as well. Much love!

I'm afraid this chick is in bad shape.

I agree, I hope it survies I've always wanted this type of breed. I will do everything I can so that it can survive.

UPDATE Sadly the chick has died and another one died a few minutes ago. We only have one left and I'm not sure if there was some sort of disease that they had or whats going on. I'm curently at my mom's which is at a different location from the chicks so I will go and pick up the last chick and take it with me to this house so that it is not alone.
(disclaimer, I did not leave these chicks alone while I was at my mom's everyday I would check on them early in the morning and in the after noon to give them new food and water as well as take them inside to sleep.)

I'm very sorry for your losses.
Well wishes, and I hope you get it sorted out and your other little chick pulls through. While I cannot offer you more advice, I can offer you my sympathies.

Thank you! I still don't know if I should go back and buy another so it won't be lonely but I don't want to risk it if the chicks there are sick. Thank you for all the support and advice!

Of course! I’m not sure about that it’s such a tough decision. I’d personally hold off until I figured out what caused the death of the others, but at the same time the poor little chick would be lonely. I will say it’s probably best to Wait until someone else more experienced chimes in with advice. Of course! I’m always here for support! Best of luck.

I'm currently at my mom's which is at a different location from the chicks so I will go and pick up the last chick and take it with me to this house so that it is not alone.

I'm am very sorry for your loss. If you do want to get more chicks get the save a chick package to put in their water, make sure they have a heat lamp, buy medicated feed in case they were not vaccinated I still like to use medicated feed just in case, and No treats till their 6 weeks old and when you give them treats give them grit so that they can break it down. I don't know what the temperature is where you live but don't let them outside till their 6 weeks old. it's hot where I live but I still don't put them outside till they are fully feathered out. if you have any more questions please let me know
Here's a little article for how to raise chicks and if you go on YouTube you can find lots of videos as well. I wish you luck!
