@casportpony @Miss Lydia Here's an update on how Thalia's doing: She's still small compared to the other PR, but she has deffinatly grown and has some feathers. I'm guessing her feathers are curly because they just decided to shoot out so rapidly all of a sudden. She keeps her eye open as much as the other, but it seems like it's pushed in and I'm not sure if she can see with that eye. She's scrawny and odd looking, but I love her just as much. I'm still giving her straight nutri drench and C. oil twice a day (0.1 ml each). I'm keeping the temperature at 90 degrees for her and her friend because she complains that she's cold all the time. I'm wondering how long I should keep doing the straight nutri drench and C. oil, and how long she should stay in the brooder? Should I be giving her more or less nutri drench now that she's older? I'm going to move the others out in a few days, they'll all be 5 weeks old. Here's some pics of her and her friend:

What is C oil?

Is she eating well? If so I would give B complex in water using B3 as the dosage guide, 100 to 150 mg per gallon of water.

Aww @DiamondSwan she looks good. You've done an excellent job of getting her well. As for the ND I think I'd cut back to every other day in their fresh water then after a few days like that cut back to 2X a week then to 1X a week as long as she is still holding her own. Only thing I have heard about the ND is it can give them runny poo if given to long. I can't tell you about the coconut oil but if it was mine I believe I'd be cutting back on that too. For feathering you might want to try some dried mealworms broken up in small piece. or whole they aren't very big. But make sure you have grit down first they have to always have grit when eating anything other than their chick crumble.

Then again this is what I'd do if Thalia was mine. You are there and see her daily how she is with her eating etc. growth and stamina

She might get to feathering in more too if you started gradually cutting the heat back some weekly.

This is a chick Amiga, C is coconut oil.

Ok, thanks! So I should put the ND in her water instead of giving it straight? I've been using electrolytes and probiotics. She eats about as often as the other chick does, but she doesn't really seem interested in extra stuff if I put it in there. Do you think she has a blind eye?
