No pun intended with the "bahahaha"
Question of the day: do roosters "sing" like the hens do? I can't remember! I don't mean the "I laid an egg!" Announcement but just the contented sing song the hens do as they walk around.
First time chick raiser here and terribly nervous and excited! Brought home 10 baby chicks: 4 Rhode Island reds, 3 Amercauna, and 3 White Longhorns. (I think that's their name). They seem pretty happy so far - sleeping, eating, drinking. One of the Rhode Island Reds seems to sleep more than others though and I'm nervous it's sick. What do I do if it continues to act sickly? They are receiving a drink with probiotics and electrolytes per the feed stores recommendation.
I agree with Last poster.First time chick raiser here and terribly nervous and excited! Brought home 10 baby chicks: 4 Rhode Island reds, 3 Amercauna, and 3 White Longhorns.

Oh yeah! and separating her will help prevent spread of iillness!!I agree with Last poster.
Use 1ml dropper with the waterer and drip 1 drop at a time. Check on her breathing. Put her in brooder box with a beanie baby separating her from getting trampled but also keeping her warm.
Repeat dropper every 30 min to an hour. After she gets back into sipping from dropper as they normally do, take a little yogurt and add to dropper. This will get her hydrated and nursing her back.
This is what our hatchery suggested (after I already started) when our 2wk old wyandotte was sick.
