Try sugar water, a warm oatmeal or cream of wheat mash. Once they have gone a day without eating their stomach shrinks.......have you ever been sick for a long bit, it hurts your stomach after when you try to eat! So gentle foods that are tempting, the bit of sugar can make it more appealing and help give energy.

It is a slim chance but one i'm grabbing on to that these two are just not eating, and going downhill. This is right at the time that their yolk supply is running out.

WILL TRY THAT THEN ..LIKE I SAID T`HEY LOST 8 OVERNIGHT IN THE CLASSROOM...TINY KEEPS WALKING ON THE PC AS i TRY OT TYPE AND HAS CUT THE CAPSLOCK AND STICKY KEYS ON .. SHE IS TRYING TO STEAL MY LEMONADE
 
Well, I am not thinking that what ever they are sick with isn't a contagion. I am thinking however that they are weaker chicks. They may have had not enough or too much heat. Save a chick would be good. Sans that, sugar water will work in a pinch. Being that they are only 2-3 days I would not give oatmeal or yogurt yet. I would give warm wet chick starter. They probably should have been given the save a chick from the get go once they had fluffed and were taken from the bator to the brooder. But then again, some people have chicks die pretty early on when they are incubating to brooder. Hope you get them to pull through though.

ANWAY...

How are you all doing tonight? My feet do not like me today. To much walking around and up and down the ladder yesterday. Tomorrow plan to finish up the project.

Fuzzy, I am thinking, if you are keeping the camper coop where it is, then maybe next spring, or when ever, I could help you build a hoop run coming off the side of the camper, even working it so that they pretty little garden area you have in the run is still in it. If you move it, I am thinking we could probably built a hoop run coming off the camper all the way around in a circle/hex pattern. Oh, think of the run space they'd have. I am a weirdo. I like to figure out how to do that stuff.

I didn't feel like pulling the tarp to the back yard today... I found some old chains that my dad had, oval bolted the tarp together on one end, hooked the chain to that, then hooked the chain over a large bolt that goes through the hinge hole, and my son asked me how I knew to do that. I asked him, "Do you have a brain?" He said, "Yes." I then asked, "Do you have an imagination?" He said yes, but who taught you how do that?" I said, No one taught me how to do that. I was gifted with a brain with an imagination to solve problems just like you. You just have to look at what the problem is, look at what you have, then use your imagination to make it all work." He tells me, "That's to hard. I went to school today, and my brain is on break until I go to school again tomorrow." You have got to be kidding me. I nearly ****** myself right there!

I am working on it lol would i post it in forums when i get it ready ... she is hopping around as the stronger chick is peeping i think the sugar from the cookie she stole has hyped her up lol this chicken is something ... the stronger chick took a good bit of the sugar water and has perked up a little the weaker one would only take a sip .... hoping i can at least pull the stronger one thru the weaker one i think is too far gone unfortunately .... and then there are like 15 more healthy ones in the basement in the small brooder with supplies who was so shocked at company he tried to escape lol
 
LOL, Well, I want to lounge and commune with my poultry loving friends... I have however, been over-ruled and must relinquish my claim to serenity and move into the world of missing duct tape... In other words, If it were legal, I'd just duct tape them to their beds and avoid the crazy boys all together for the rest of the night... Alas... I squeezed them out... I guess that makes me beholden to them... lol.
