A few chicks get pushed over on their backs and sometimes, and sometimes can’t right themselves, is this normal?

No, this stems from Vitamin deficiencies. Do you have any poultry supplements you can put in the water?

Not any poultry specific supplements, is there any other stuff I can give them, though they seem more lively today

Usually its a lack of Vitamin B and E. Do you have any liquid baby vitamins?

I don’t think so, I made a little honey water and feed it to the more lethargic ones and they’ve perked up now ands started eating

Glad they are feeling better! Are they on chick starter now? Make sure the crumbles are small enough to eat, many times you need to crush it so they can swallow it. They should continue to feel better as they eat and grow.

They are definitely eating, they are on chick starter, I crushed some up to make sure they can eat it and they do, there was one that wasn’t eating, but he is now
They are all very active
