Baby chicken needs help

[Eggcessive]

So sorry that she is doing worse. It might be too late to save her. It might help you to buy a chicken book sometimes if you are at the feedstore. There are many online used for much less money. This one below is very good for beginners and it was online today for only $3.99 used:

Thank you for letting me know about the book I will look into it

There are some experts here at BYC that will probably be able to more easily identify what you're dealing with once you answer a few questions but from looks alone, I'm really leaning toward a vitamin B2 deficiency.

Aww I am sorry your chick isn’t feeling well!

I won’t be any help, I just wanted to chime in and say BYC is so full of amazing chicken people. You guys are always so fast to respond and helpful. With knowledgeable friendly answers!!

It’s AWESOME.

If she is just getting cracked corn she is not getting a complete diet. A vitamin deficiency is very plausible and hopefully fixable at an early stage!

Everyone has already said this but thank you

Can you ask about getting some Corid from the feed store today, and start her on it for coccidiosis? Mix it in the water 2 tsp of Corid liquid per gallon of water or 1/2 tsp per quart, for 5-7 days. In addition to that give her 1/4 tsp of the undiluted Corid twice a day for several days.

Okay so my sister ended up bringing up some scrambled eggs she's eating it and she was also eating a little bit of crack corn which I told my sister that it was enough protein but she still insisted to get something in her and now she won't stop eating scrambled eggs but she did not die yesterday night

Oh, I am so glad that she is still with you and eating. Scrambled egg is good, and I would try to give her some watery chicken feed, not corn or scratch. You might tell your mom and grandmother that some chick vitamins, such as Poultry NutriDrench 1 ml daily which might perk her up. Those are available at Tractor Supply, along with chicken feed.

I'd forgo the corn altogether for the time being and focus on scrambled egg until you can get her some proper feed. It's more nutrient dense than corn, which is likely to make her feel fuller and eat less quality food.
Also, in the meantime, while you're waiting it out for the nutridrench... apple cider vinegar, pedialyte, or energy drinks such as poweraide or gatoraide can be added to the water in small amounts (as in barely flavoring/a cap full) to provide a nutrient boost - all of these contain B-Complex to some extent.
Nutridrench is the best solution and make sure not to offer energy drinks long-term as they are too salty for general use, but suit for emergency situations like this.

What do I feed them to the point where they get vitamin B2 because I feed all my chickens cracked corn and if that's the case then I don't want my other chickens to fall like this one

Read the link above. "Curled toe paralysis in chickens" Very informative. Good luck, I'm watching and keeping my fingers crossed for her!
