Baby chick barely responsive help!

Edit- it's like he falls asleep and suddenly kicks and wakes with a start if we jostle him but even then he seems super super sleepy.

Weird. I'll tag some people in to help.

Nutri drench It's good to keep on hand for chicks like this because it doesn't have to be digested.
Is it possible for you to get some today?

Low glucose can cause these symptoms. Try warm sugar water.

We had to put him down He started seizing and running himself into walls, and I knew it was neurological and he couldn't eat or drink he was throwing it up and couldn't get to the food and water on his own. We made the decision to put him down so he wouldn't suffer. We made a lovely little grave in the back pasture for him and decorated it with a little permanent marker headstone and wildflowers from our pasture. The girls are really sad, and it was hard for me to put him down myself too. At least he's in heaven now <3
