[Done] Don't know what's wrong with 2 day old chick, please help!!

[The Bird Lover]

Hi all! This is my first hatching EVER and gratefully I got 4 healthy chicks out of it, unfortunately, I don't know what's wrong with the 5th. She came out of her egg a little late, and I thought everything was fine until she wasn't walking and looked quite weak. After a day passed of her just sitting in the incubator, not fluffy, I decided to take action by doing some research. I thought she still had some inner membrane stuck to her and thats why she wasn't fluffy or standing so I grabbed a paper towel to take all the gunk off of her. I don't know if that made things worse because she's not even chirping anymore and is still has that "wet" look. I really don't want to lose this one as she was the only easter egger that hatched- please help!

Her legs look splayed. Maybe try making a leg brace for her using a little pipe cleaner. You can find directions on youtube. You could also try blow drying on the coolest, lowest setting and peeping/whistling/clucking softly to her. And electrolytes - you can google recipes for it for baby chicks. Even just a teeny bit of sugar water may help. But...don't get too hopeful. Often the weak little ones just don't make it.

Thank you for the info! So far I've done 2 10min intervals where I take her out and give her some homemade electrolyte water, I'm pleased to say SHE'S GETTING FLUFFY!! Slowly but surely the down is finally looking like down. We aren't in the clear yet so I'll keep y'all posted

I'll start making the leg brace once she's a little bit more fluffy

Fingers crossed for your little one

Thank you all so much for the support, she's much more active and is starting to throw little tantrums at being babied by me

Her head is almost close to fluffy as well, I'll start working on that leg brace right away!
Her eyes are also opening more, she didn't want to open them for you guys unfortunately

We've got a fighter on our hands!

I'm sorry everyone.....it died a few moments ago. I guess it was too much for the little one
At least I could say I tried.

[Chickeria]
