So for the past 2 days i noticed that my chick has a wierd breathing pattern, none of my other birds do this, and he is already smaller and weaker compared with others, im scared that he may have grape worms and i cant find flubenol anywere for sale online, are there any alternatives for baby chicks?

I've never heard of grape worms, do you mean gape worm? Is s/he stretching out his/her neck? How old is this chick? How long have you had it? It may have a respiratory disease.
What do you use for bedding? What is the temperature in the brooder?

hes 3 weeks old and right now he's wrapped in a blanked to keep him warm, i did see him stretching his neck upwards 2 times but that's all, though he was fidgeting a bit while trying to fall asleep.
