Baby Chick dying.. maybe some help!

[QBRanch]

I just recieved my first order for the new year.. I have a little one who is just laying there and from what I can tell it has fluids in it's lungs (From the sound it's making). So, what can you all suggest I do? Any help would be great! Thanks. I want to try and save if possible..

Well, all sad to say but it didn't make it. Kept spittin back up. and well kind of had a seizure like deal and then went... Poor baby. now we sit and watch the rest of them. So, far all is drinking, chirping, eating and alot of poopin going on..

So sorry, its always hard to lose one

It's common in day old chicks to lose 1 or 2, somtimes the long ride they took to get to you makes them weak, somtimes they just fail to thrive and dont make it. It's natures way of keeping our flocks healthy !!

First of all: I'm soooo sorry!

Second of all: be sure to tell the place where you got them from about the death.

Really sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry for your loss!

Fluid in the lungs? Maybe pneumonia.

Seizures? Hmmm... Once I saw an animal dying, and it went through these strange seizures.

My advice is, don't think about the lost one. Think about all those others you still have and concentrate on keeping them alive and happy!
