2 Day old, lethargic

[MedinaClucker]

Hi All,
I have a 2 day old lavender Orpington that isn't doing so hot. We got her yesterday with 5 other chicks. All the other chicks are fine.

This chick is very lethargic. She won't stand at all on her own, and is having labored breathing (opening beak when taking a breath). We've removed her from the others and have hand fed her some electrolytes and egg yolk. She seems to be responding slightly to this (actually looking around now).

Shortly after getting her home yesterday, we discovered some crusty butt which we promptly removed with a warm damp towel.

Anything else we should do?

Thanks!

This is our ICU. The hot water bottle is keeping her in a 95° pocket.

Disregard. She passed away last night.

Some chicks just don't thrive. Sorry she passed away.
