6-7 day old Polish chick

[Kidwantschickens]

Little update! She was standing and pecking at food the last time I checked on her. I am still giving her the sugar water yolk Mixture every 2 hrs or so, but she seems to be limping less. I worry about her the other chicks seem pretty aggressive. They are fly-jumping and chest bumping (for a bunch of "kind breed pullets" I'm kind of surprised.) Anyway, we'll see how she does. Might switch her to straight yolk, thoughts?

"toughie" seemed to be doing better over the last week but between the temp drop and the other bigger chicks and whatever she had going on she refused her scrambled egg this morning and was more lethargic than normal. I tried to get her to drink egg yolk water and she refused that as well.

Toughie was humanely euthanized this morning. My daughter is struggling with it but my son seems shockingly ok. Poor little toughie.

Sorry that you lost Toughie.

Sorry that you lost Toughie.

Thank you! It seems harder when you've put extra care into them/spent more time with that specific chick.

We're seeing a super cold snap, temps will be in teens, one night gets down to 6... Hope they're ok, all but 2 are 2 weeks old, other 2 are just one week.
