I am a first hatching mama, and something is happening to my babies. When i went to check on them this morning, one 4 day old chick had died and my 2 day old baby doesn't act right. She seems like she's gasping for air and she's crying out loudly. She is still standing, but seems very wobbly. The other chicks seem okay- but I'm worried since these two had problems. Is there anything I can do for this little one? I've given her some Gatorade and tried to feed her a little hard boiled yolk. I don't have any poly visol in the house.

Should I keep her separate from the others or is okay for her to stay with them. She seems very unhappy when i quarantine her from the others.
 
This is what happened to my 2 little chicks aswell, keep them separated and give them a hot water bottle to cuddle up to.
The chick may have mareks disease, but I'm not sure. Do you have the plant st johns wort? If you do boil it in shallow water untill it boils and give the water to the chick. This should help. But sadly,chicks this age dont survive :( also some luke warm milk might help.
Good-luck and I hope it survives x
