3week old GLW not eating really

[piyo piyo]

It looks like she is eating right now maybe she is just a little behind in growing or at the bottom of the pecking order

Keep a eye out to make sure she isn't being bullied and the food is spread out enough so she can get some

They sugar water should help a lot. Maybe mix it up some electrolytes and probiotics in its water. 81 seems a little cool for 3 week olds to me, especially if this one is being pushed away from the heat by others.

Thank you so much I do not have any of those products or a place here in Bethel Alaska to get them is there anything else I might be able to try? I will order online so I will always have on hand.
what temperature do you recommend? She seems to be doing better now

Each packet makes one gallon of water. And you can put the two in the same gallon of water. I always put a gallon of this mix through every batch of chicks first then just plain water. It really seems to help the chicks and its completely stopped any pasty butt problems. Anyhow in the meantime until you can get some. Keep up with the sugar water. Watered down 50/50 Pedialyte can help. Also some plain yogurt can help its guts work better.

At three weeks I'd still be having my chicks around 90 degree. I've found a lot of info that recommends dropping the temp 5 degree every week. I just don't agree with it. I drop mine about 5 degree every other week. And have the brooders large enough that they can kinda regulate their own temps. So they can go warm up under the heat and get away from it to cool down.

80-85 degrees F should be plenty warm for a 3 week old, unless it seems to be standing under the heat lamp. I would treat for possible coccidiosis with Corid (amprollium.) A feed store should sell it for chickens and cattle. If you have a vet they could give it to you, or might prescribe a sulfa antibiotic instead. Symptoms of coccidiosis are lethargy, not eating, being hunched or puffed up, and runny poops (sometimes with blood.) Occasionally a chick can be a failure to thrive chick due to some internal problem.
