The poor thing probably just needs some uninterrupted rest. If she's that tired I would just let her sleep. I bet she'll be up and about in no time. I had a few that flopped around for quite a while after they hatched, even had one that kept falling backwards and would lay there like a big yellow pear with feet and a beak. They are all fine now.

Well she's been resting for more than 24 hours now and still shows no sign of walking. I've been giving her water and a little loose scrambled egg. She does not eat. She's pretty clearly fading and I just don't want her to suffer. I had a horrible hatch in August and ended up going through the same thing with a chick. He finally died and it was horrible.

I'll give her a few more hours but she's not showing any sign of getting better.

AH, actually he looks more like Beaker, Dr Bunsen Honeydew's assistant!

So Beaker it is!!
Too funny (we love funny animal names here, kinda makes the chores go better esp. on otherwise not great days,
we had a rescue donkey once named HoeDee get it "Donkey-Hoe-D" yah, & a pig got named Irish, & a cat that liked to hang w/her therefore became her drinkin buddy "Scotch", & when I was up to 13 barncats I would call them to eat saying "Hey Many & Various Cats come eat" and one day an unnamed momma cat looked me right in the eyes when I said the "various" part so she is of course my barncat named Various (she is the cat in my Short Story picture of Rooster Popeye in fact).

As for the New Years 2013 chicks, I give you

my new BYC Avatar , woohoo

Beaker is my favorite muppet. I have a beaker bookmark I use all the time when I read real books. It used to sit on my computer screen but the ducks thought it was a toy, so it moved last year.

Good luck on your baby chick. I say about 1/2 of the ones that are very weak perk up with vitamins . I have one based in molasses that is very high calorie I give them when they are weak, it sometimes takes a day or to to come around. Sometimes they don't too, but the will to live can be strong .
