3 day old poorly chick

[QueenieCat]

Having successfully incubated and hatched 6 chicks over two days, the last little one hatched well, fluffed up and was put into the brooder and it was doing well. Found it lying under the heater today, 3 days on, thought it was dead, but showed a little life, so I have moved it to another brooder with heater and been trying to get it to drink by letting water drip from the end of a QTip. It is still very weak but is getting quite vocal when I lift it up and is actually opening its eyes now, but is not able to eat, but seems to be taking in a little water. Is there anything I can give it to perhaps help build it up a little, obviously would have to be quite liquid as the little thing cannot eat for itself, any help/advice would be appreciated.

Sorry didn't see you post earlier. ASAP Give it some sugar water with a eye dropper if you have one, also give it some raw egg yoke to get some protein into it. Good Luck hope it makes it

Thanks for your reply. Tried sugar water, little one didn't make it.
