Baby chick panting/lethargic

[Ratticus]

I have a 2 day old who isn't looking too good... Already gave her sugar water. It looks like she has hiccups and she's laying out on the ground. The brooder isn't too hot and theres room to jump around. Everyone else is eating and happy. Thoughts?

How is your chick doing?
Can you post photos? Is she pooping?

She popped a few times but they were very watery. She perks up a little..but she's not eating.

Looks very weak. Do you have nutri drench or rooster booster available?

 

[Ratticus]

Already given her some Rooster Booster

How is she?

She's still alive, no improvement though... Not sure what else to do

What are you feeding her? Where did you get her? Has she ever eaten? Was she lively when you got her?

She was lively when I got her, not as energetic as the rest but I just thought maybe she was tired from hatching. I've been feeding her egg yolk. The other 4 are all happy eating their chick starter, pooping and drinking on their own. I have her separated and I've been keeping her warm.

I was wondering if you got her from a place where she might have been handled a lot, and possibly dropped, squeezed or otherwise injured. The hiccupping sounds like a pain response to me but I am just guessing. Maybe @Eggcessive or @ChickenCanoe would be kind enough to check in.
