Chick not eating or drinking, sleepy-HELP

[Suburban Simplicity]

My 6 week old BO spent yesterday & last night in the coop. This was her first time sleeping without controlled heat. She has either been outside w/ heat lamp or inside. She was locked in the house portion and slept next to her 7wk old "sister". Outside temp in So Cal was about 50+ degrees last night.

This morning she jumped out of the house, ready to start the day but I have not seen her eat or drink today. She walked around & pecked at the ground, but wouldn't join the others at the feeder. She followed her sister chicks around, then sat in the corner of the coop. She also had very watery droppings this morning.

I pulled her aside in the brooder box again with a lamp until the temp warmed up (supposed to be 85 today). Tried giving her cooked egg & a little raw milk but nothing tempted her. Put electrolights in waterer, but she isn't drinking so not sure how helpful that will be. Very lethargic and laying on bottom of brooder.

Any suggestions or helpful advice would be appreciated.

Is she feathered out? Not sure 100% what happened to her, but you might have to help her get some of the water with vitamins (yogurt, watered down cooked egg yolk would be good, too) to get her energy back up. Are there older chickens in the coop, too? Maybe the youngsters were kept away from the water/food by the others? Keep trying to entice her with high protein foods and liquids. You're doing a great job at making sure she's warm enough, that could have been a problem, especially if there were drafts. Good luck!

You should keep her isolated, warm & make sure she is getting plenty of food & water. Good idea on the electrolytes/vitamins in her water or Sav-A-Chik.
Try giving her the water with a syringe, minus the needle, or make a runny slurry of chick feed & warm water & see if she'll eat that. Later, try to feed her some foods that are high in vitamins A & K, especially vit. A. She might have a nutrient deficiency.
Some foods high in vit. A are: broccoli, butternut squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, mangoes & tomato juice.
If you have any of these veggies, boil them up until they are soft & chop them into bite-size pieces or mash them with a fork.
You could also try some yogurt for the diarrhea. Plain is best, but flavored works fine too.
Hope this helps her!
