I have 10 chicks in a chick shelter that is close to the main hens shelter. One chick got out and I found it in the main chicken shelter. It was was lying and for a moment I thought it was dead but upon touching it made weak movement. I don't know if it was stepped on by the big hens or pecked to the verge of death (no visible injuries). It still alive but extremely weak how can I save it?
 
Warm it and syringe warm sugar water into it. Warm a fuzzy cloth in the microwave, careful it isn't hot enough to burn, wrap the chick in the warm cloth and feed it the sugar water.

If you have Poultry Nutri-drench, squeeze a few drops into the sugar water.
 
Hi, @azygous , I followed your advice but and it's still alive and growing well though there were tweaks since I didn't have everything you mentioned. I gave it warm water with sugar water and put it under shade since it was sunny and we don't have a microwave (though I had to look after it to prevent it being pecked by some curious adult chicken).
Thanks alot
