[Ms. Lewis Rich]

The constantly cheeping chicks I have had have turned out normal.

make him warm and try some lukewarm water with some sugar mixed in

Do you have a piece of fur or something soft? Sometimes I wrap an unsettled chick in a small, soft piece of fabric -- not something they can peck at and choke on but something baby blanket cuddly. It seems to mimick momma and calms them. I save my soft blanket scraps for that and it works wonders with unsettled babies.

well I dont think it is doing good, I just spend 15 minutes feeding it yogurt and ground up crumbles. It cant seem to stand well and is favoring that right leg still. I am hoping its belly is fuller now and maybe that will give it the boost it needs. I put a dash of sugar in its water and gave it another drop of vitamins. I will put a scap piece of fur or stuffed animal in there now...

aww keep us posted...ive been quietly following this thread. if u took a pic would it show how it walks or stands funny?

 

[AHappychick]

well it was alive when I woke up, it has slowed down its chirping but did not seem any worse maybe a little better?? I just fed it more yogurt/crumbles and gave it more water. Trying to keep it alive but there is def. something wrong with it, maybe it just did not get enough nutrition the last few days so I am hoping feeding him and time will fix it. I will take a pic soon.

its gone up to that big coop in the sky I suppose. I gave it my best I think the food and vitamins just prolonged the inevitable though....

Awwww...I'm so sorry. At least you know you did everything you could to make him comfortable. I know exactly how you feel...I went through that last week. One of my "packing peanuts" had problems, including peeping a lot like yours. I kept him alive for a few days by hand feeding him, giving vitamins, etc....but then one night, he just didn't make it to see the next morning. Poor little guy, but at least he's not suffering now.
