1 Week Old Chick Dying HELP!

[BigBlueHen53]

Are the wood chips cedar or pine?

Does the chick have poop stuck to its butt at all?

If you plan to dose Corid. Give all your chicks it in their waterer. Per Instruction. But they seem a little young. Isolate this one and give her some electrolyte and probiotic through the oral syringe. Check on her once in a while and if she is not eating maybe mash up some feed and feed it
I may be wrong
No need to worry about choking. What type of feed?

Thank you for your advice! I put the corvid mix in their water and they've all drank from it. The feed is starter feed from the store we got them from. I'm not sure what the brand is

No I checked. I just checked on it again and it keeps opening and closing its mouth like it cant breath or swallow

it could be adjusting its crop. Is it still sleeping a lot or how is it doing right now?

 

[Griff63]

Starter feed should be crumbled. Do you have a picture? Or at least the name of the feed?

Here is a bad picture it is dark where I am sorry if it is bad

Ohh sometimes that also means its too hot. Have you moved the heat lamp to one side of the brooder?

 

[Griff63]

Here is a picture of my setup. Sorry for the quality it is dark. The heat lamp is on the far left

It is sleeping constantly and every once in awhile it will open its mouth and make a small clicking noise with its eyes closed

I would suggest to upgrade to a larger bin. They will outgrow that really fast and do need more room to walk or they’ll pick on each other.

Also I would try to feed that chick scrambled eggs. If it’s having a hard time with the chick starter maybe see if it will eat eggs at least for the energy and protein.
