Chick Dying IS THERE A QUICKER WAT TO KILL IT

[Raven_Evergreen]

So, Hi i'm new to Backyard Chickens and I have 4 cornish cross chickens that were fine until this afternoon one of them decided to lean on its hocks, i did some research and i believe its the b2 deficiency problems so I went to the store with father and couldn't find anything we eventually settle on a pack it of vitamin and i think probiotic to add to the water. Before then, I gave it some electrolyte and egg yolk.

This is it in the chick chair i made. One of the pictures has the other 3, for 4-h we only need to so what should i do, the chicken will be in its little chair for the night.

Welcome To BYC

You can use human B-Complex which can be found at stores like Walmart, CVS, etc. Give 1/4 tablet daily.

I'd check her several times throughout the night with her being in a chick chair and under a lamp. Make sure she's not overheating, and she'll be needing fluids/water too. Probably hungry. She can't reach food/water on her own while in the chair.

She can get out really easily and she hobbled to the water earlier when I was with her.

The chick is slowly dying, I believe it has trouble breathing and the toes are starting to curl, we can't do anything farther than give it some electrolyte and probiotic. Is there an easier way to kill it now than let it suffer.

Pull on his neck real quick while.holding his feet. Quick. No pain. Very humane to do so it will no longer suffer.

At that age, using a pair of scissors to take off the head is a quick and humane way of killing them if you're uncomfortable pulling the neck.
