Chick spitting up water & lethargic?

[StinkyAcres]

Not that I’m aware of. I’m on all the FB chicken groups in my area and I haven’t seen any posts. These chicks all came from Wilco and I’m 99% sure they came vaccinated. Should I treat with Corrid just in case?

Vaccinated for coccidia? If so, medicated feed will make the vaccine ineffective.

Ah, okay. Marek's doesn't show up until they're older.

How are the other chicks doing and what are the temperatures of the warm and cool sides of the brooder?

The other chicks are totally normal. She just gurgled her water up again.

Its 95 under the heater and 80 as far away from the heater as it’s possible to be.

That's good. I'm running out of ideas. What is the bedding and could she have eaten some?

pine pellets, super fresh that haven’t dissolved into sawdust yet. I just ran out and got some chick boost and some save-a-chick. I was thinking I’d give the save a chick now? Idk I’m stumped

Sav-a-chick contains thiamine also. I'll tag someone to see if they have ideas. @azygous

Yeah I noticed that before I added, thank goodness. On regular water there’s no change…she hasn’t gurgled again since this morning but she’s still super lethargic comparatively. Her crop is fuller than this morning but seems squishier than the other chicks. Maybe that could indicate that’s she’s drinking more than eating?

I wondered about that. Have you seen her eat?

Yes I’ve seen her take a couple crumbles at a time and then immediately get more water.
