She is 2 days old, yesterday she was running around totally healthy and fine. Then this afternoon, she flopped down and when to sleep. She has been very sleepy and lethargic every since. If I reach to pick her up she becomes alert and peeps a few times but doesn't make any effort to stand, she just stays limp. Her poop is liquid clear and yellowish brown with green in it? This is my first batch of chicks! Help!!! She is such a sweetie!

Make sure it isn't too hot 90-95. And give her water drops on her beak. as soon as she tolerates that you can add a smidgen of sugarto the water.
EXPERTS how much sugar??? Good luck

Hi I'm so sorry for your loss. I just lost one also, got 8 yesterday in the mail and they were all great and today one had the same symptoms and just died. Wondering from others out there with more experience how common this is. I think I did everything right with the temp and large box with different places for them to go to get out of the heat if it was too much. I hope you found some sisters for your remaining chick. Good luch.
