Sorry for your loss. But you gave it every chance you could have.

You sure did. Sometimes that happens to loose one and it is sad but at least you tried. I had some chicks born with pneumonia and I have never had that before. They were shipped eggs. I started with tylan 200 in water and some got better and some I lost. If I have one that stays weak and doesn't perk up sometimes I cut off piece of beef liver and put it in chicks mouth toward back and get it to eat it. I feel they get anemic for some reason. That helps sometimes,. I always start giving drinks of sugar water right away and will leave them in incubator instead of putting in box so there temp is controlled and that helps too. I will wrap them in washrag to keep them from getting spayed legs and from fall on back too. I hope this helps someone with hatching. Is always hard to know when to help and what to do but by tying them off you give them a chance they wouldn't have gotten
