2 week old chick labored breathing, gasping, lethargy

Who knew food and a heating pad could do so much? Haha

She’s an incredibly lucky baby chicken.

She was lonely peeping so I'm holding her rn. Now she's happy chirping now and then and sleeping

If you hadn’t come across her laying in that bin of chicks, she wouldn’t have survived. I do hope that you’re able to find the answer to what’s going on with her. Maybe there’s something more specific that you can do to help her improve further.

The OP is giving good care and doing all they can.

I'd just give it time and see how it goes.

I took absolutely no offense to that. She definitely is not perfectly cured. She has quirks that may be permanent

 

[RandomAnarchy]

She loves this little stuffy I gave her

She also stumbles a bit but that should go away in time. I'm so so happy she's able to walk. I was concerned she was brain dead. She does randomly do the drinking action. I think it's neurological

You definitely are doing a marvelous job with her.

You might want to pick up some Nutra Cell chicken vitamins or something like that which has minimally E and B-Complex in it. You can put that in her/their water and it might help if it is something neurological, plus help build up any part of her that's lacking anything like bones, tissue, organs, etc.

Thank you! I will see if they have any!

She is eating the wet chick crumbles like a champ! She did cough a clear liquid onto my hand while I was holding her though. So she still has phlegm

 

[RandomAnarchy]

Yay!

 

[Debbie292d]

Yay!

Whoa, she's doing marvelous! She's definitely feeling a lot better!!

Did you ever find out what breed she is out of curiosity?
