This is my first time having chicks from a hatchery. Been a while since I've had chickens besides... Anyway, I ordered six and they threw in a freebie. one true blue whiting arrived pretty weak and did not make it till the next morning, the other true blue whiting never gatjerd steam and has continued to decline and I am trying to eye dropper feed it, not much luck... And today a third chick...a black Jersey Giants sat under the brooder light and is now doing gasping breathing... Am I doing something wrong!
I've tried just about everything I can think of. Sugar water, honey water, etc... Even scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, chick starter mixed with the electrolyte water solution all to no avail, any other suggestions? The other three chicks are all doing well. And they also sent a freebie which I'm pretty sure is a rooster and it's looking real perky also.

Glad you joined.
How old are they? What is the temperature in your brooder? Have you started a thread in the ER forum?
