Hey everyone,

I have a chick that is a week old now. She seemed a little more sleepy when I first got her but she ate and drank on her own etc. for the last 3 days she has been lethargic, stumbling and hardly being able to get up. It seems like she gets a bit better after I give her some nutridrench and then slowly starts not being able to walk around much again or laying down and quietly chirping. She does try and eat and drink on her own and poops. I have noticed her wings are growing but her body is still the same as when she was only a day or so old. I’m assuming she is a failure to thrive chick? Im not sure what else I can do for her. The others are like twice her size and doing just fine.

I'd buy a B vitamin complex for baby humans. It should be in a form of sweet syrup. I'd try to give her one drop twice a day.
The leftover is good for humans so you can finish it yourself. This is what I do, I always have baby vitamins around for chicken emergencies and for myself.

I’ll try that! I am using the sav a chick electrolytes in their water and that also has vitamins in it as well. I do see b vitamins.
