i think my chick got too hot in the brooder yesterday. shes 5 days old. she ate some tiny worms (she wont eat starter feed, so dug out some teeny worms that she just loved) before bed like the night before, however this morning she was limp, stumbling around, had pasty butt. i cleaned her bum, i fed her some fermented chick feed. She had a revival moment this afternoon and then got weak again. i went and bought 3 more chicks (7-10 days old) to give her moral support! At home, she still was weak, so i fed her some fermented chick feed water with some blackstrap molasses and some sav a chick probiotic water. she was readily accepting it all and accepted quite a of liquid. i put her back in the brooder. some seconds later shes lying sprawled out not moving-she was not breathing-choking. so i lifted her , water came pouring out of her mouth, so i lifted her head straight up and started massaging her throat and crop while blowing on her mouth. Shes squeeking now and making peeping action with her beak with a sound only once in a while....WHAT do i DO??thanks in advance for you help!!!!i want her healthy again!!
