Droopy chick

[PeaPod117]

I put my chicks outside today, and I fell asleep once I finished. When I woke up, it was raining. I ran and grabbed my chicks and brought them inside, letting them dry under a hair dryer and giving them food. One of the chicks doesn’t seem to feel well and her wings are drooping and her eyes are closed. However, when I sprinkled feed in the box I have them in right now, she ate, but stayed where she was. Is she ok or...?

Treat for coccidiosis right away. I'd put her under a heat lamp also. Looks like she got very chilled.

Thank you! Anything else I can do for her?

I think just making sure shes warm and eating and drinking. You might have to drop some water on her beak if she wont drink the medicated water. Maybe someone else will have ideas...but as soon as I see those ruffled feathers I think cocci.
