Hi,
I have 9 two day old chicks. I have raised a lot of chicks.........( hatch almost weekly)
so I know to check for heat, pasty butt ect. The other 8 chicks are fine, eating, drinking
appear to have enough heat.
This little guy just cries constantly unless I have it under my shirt.
It seems odd to me it would be cold since the others are fine.........
I am just at a lose as to what the problem could be.?
Any ideas would be appreciated.................
 
HI,
Thank you for responding...
I got her to eat mushy chick starter..not sure if she had been eating.
To many looked alike to tell them apart. I think now she was hungry.
Anyway, She ate, gave her a ton of water, put her in the brooder...She cried for about an Hour
then quit .She is fine this morning ...Maybe she was just a little behind the others
although she looked good?
 
Try getting some vitamins into it. I had one like that last spring. Constant loud cheeping. Eventually became comatose and presented with Vitamin E encephalopathy. I brought it back with Vit E, nutridrench, hand feeding formula, but the damage had been done to internal organs, and the bird though he lived, had scoliosis and heart damage.
