Hi, I ordered some chicks and just got them shipped in today, and apparently one got dropped from a couple feet off the ground. It went completely limp, won't open its eyes, and has been breathing very heavily for the past couple hours. Its beak is getting progressively more and more purple.. What can I do to help her??
 
Keep it warm and do not let the others step on it. Offer some water with electrolytes or Poultry Nutridrench 2 drops and dip it’s beak in water often. If it acts mire alert in time offer feed with a little water to make it mushy and egg yolk. If it is dying, it may not be alive too much longer. I hope it perks up. Let us know how it gets along.
