Chick is not doing well

[Tuch baluch]

Hi, today I got two chicks from a feed store. The chicks did not get to the post office until late last night, and did not get to the feed store until this morning. Many of the chicks past away, and some are dying. I got a delaware and an easter egger. The delaware is doing perfectly fine, but the easter egger is not. She is standing and wobbling, and stepping forward a little bit every once and a while. Then she drank some water, and walked around and is now just standing and wobbling again. I am getting another delewsre in case the easter egger passes, so that the other one is not alone. Do you have any advice for the chick?

Here is the easter egger. She just drank a sip of water and is drinking a little more avery once and a while.

Electrolytes or Poultry Nutri-Drench in the water, and make sure it drinks. May want to do a few drops of full strength Nutri-Drench directly in the mouth (be careful it does not choke).

Thank you. It is in the same brooder with two delewares, and the water has the sav a chixk probiotics, and electrolytes. She is doing better, and I read on the meyer hatchery blog thing that I can give her a bit of egg yolk. She all day she hasn't pooped, and Im worried. She only ate a couple prices of feed.

X2 what @rosemarythyme says. I have seen NutriDrench work miracles.

Yes you can try giving her some hard boiled or scrambled egg, chopped up fine, to see if that'll help encourage her to eat.

Would a feed store have nutri drench in stock?

Yes they should. Might want to call ahead to see if they have it in stock, if it's a bit of a drive.

It's only about 15 minutes away. Also the chick is up, keeping and pecking at the walls
