The electrolytes are great for chicks; it helps boost their energy and hydration. It could also be replaced by crushed garlic or honey in the water! I haven't had experience with the nutri-drench, but it *probably* won't hurt.I have two chicks born yesterday that aren’t standing up when walking, but rather walking with their bottom kind of dragging. At first I thought one was doing that because it looked like it’s foot might be a little deformed but now I’m thinking they may just be weak, both struggled hatching. I’m wondering if either of these might help but wanted to ask the “experts” first…
The nutri-drench is the fastest way to give them a boost. it absorbs into there systems almost immediately. Both are good to use I would start with nutri-drench I give it in there water you can also try to give week ones a drop on there beak to see if you can get it into them the sooner the better.I have two chicks born yesterday that aren’t standing up when walking, but rather walking with their bottom kind of dragging.

Thanks for the advice, they were up and standing when I got home yesterday and running around this morning, I think they were both weak and small and needed time to rest. I did use an eye dropper last night and gave both some Nutradrench.
Thanks for the reply, they were both up and standing when I got home last night and we’re running around this morning. I think they were just weak and tired and needed time to rest after the hatch and the others were ready to run around! I did use an eyedropper to give them both some Nutradrench last night.
I would still give them some supplements in water for a few days. Glad to here they are coming around. Good luck.
