Chick not doing well after getting "trapped"

[zimmerman4]

We have a week old chick (out of 4) who got herself stuck between the chickenwire and the little "house" they sleep in. We don't know how long she was there. We found her upside down with some poop on her. I kept her seperate lastnight and fed her water through a dropper. She seemed better, and despite eating a little and drinking on her own, is lethargic. Do I wait or is there more I need to do?

I would make sure she is warm enough, then give her more water with sugar in it to pep her up. It make take her a while to recover. THe same thing happened to a friend of mine yesterday. Her baby was missing for two days and they found it stuck between a cinder block and the house. It was cold and dehydrated, but they put it under a lamp, isolated it, gave it water and food and now its fine. I think sugar water will help. Let us know!
