I suppose as long as he's eating and drinking normally then it is a weird chick, but if not then something is wrong.Its not on its back now. It can right itself with some effort. Not markedly weak that I've noticed. Do I just have a weird chick?

Do have any poultry vitamins to mix in the water like Sav-A-Chick or NutriDrench? Those usually have electrolytes in addition to vitamins.I have not tried electrolytes in the water. Like, unflavored pedialyte or what?

It's not going to be formulated for poultry, so I would not give it. If you have Pedialyte on hand, use it. If you can mix up some sugar water it can help too. Laying like that means the chick is just too weak to even right itself. If you can't get to a feed store, you can use multivitamin drops for infants, without iron.No. I have been trying to use up the last of a bottle of "all cage bird" vitamins put out by Dr. Lafeber. My 47 year old Amazon parrot passed away from a stroke near a year ago and I have been trying to finish the vitamins before they expire.
Edit: i havent used these with the chicks, just my adult birds. Should I give some to the chicks?
It unfortunately contains vitamin A so I have to be careful of overdose
But he *can* right himself. And does. Without my intervention. And doesn't act super weak. Is there a chance he might have an inner ear issue or something? He really doesn't act like an unwell bird to me.It's not going to be formulated for poultry, so I would not give it. If you have Pedialyte on hand, use it.
