Do you think this chick sleeping on my thermometer/hydrometer will cause an inaccurate reading? View attachment 1041216

So wayyyyy off topic here. Anyone see the commercials for the "Purple" brand mattresses? I've read a ton of reviews, watched multiple YouTube, real people, reviews, and it sounds promising. I was going to order a normal mattress/box spring with my finger hut account, but then noticed the shipping itself is $300 for them. I just could not bring myself to pay $300 for shipping on top of the price for a good mattress. I need one though. Mine is 10 years old at least. Seems like I'm always sore, back or hips hurting, so replacing it is a must. I don't want to drag this old one to the new place if we ever get in.
So I applied for the financing of the purple, got accepted and ordered one with the base. Should be here next week. Can't wait to see if it's as good as they say.

I can ask on the Emergencies forum, but I thought you fine folks might be able to tell me what to do.
On of my newly hatched chicks can't quite stand up. It's not spraddle leg. Feet don't look quite right to me, but when it stands for a moment they look ok. The chick can only stand for a moment before falling over.

What do I do?

What do I do?

Got any Nutridrench? I'd give a couple drops, followed by plain water. It looks fairly recently hatched. Might just need a little time to build up some strength. Any siblings, and how are they doing?

I don't have any nutridrench, I've got sav a chick electrolytes.

5 other chicks (not sure they are siblings) are doing well - hatched yesterday and the day before. One didn't make it out of the shell, 2 eggs haven't pipped and I'm pretty sure they didn't make it either.

not sure they are siblings

They are all at least half siblings Nutri Drench is great stuff, I'd pick it up to have on hand. I give it to all my hatchlings in their water for the first week.

 

[AmberKnits]

I'll go get some right now!

 

[AmberKnits]

Im not seeing any improvement in my chick who falls over. I did give her the NutriDrench over 24 hours ago. Today I made her drink water (with electrolytes) every few hours throughout the day.

What's next? Wait? More vitamins? Vet tape?

I'd really like this chick to survive. My hatches haven't been great this year.

sorry to hear that. You can give the Nutridrench a few times a day. Just follow with clear water to wash it down. Hopefully she will perk up soon

is she pooping regularly?
