Hi all, today I bought a three week old Polish from a breeder. We have gotten her home and she does not look well at all :( she is super lethargic, only drinks when I drop water on her beak and hasn't even gotten up to have a look around her surroundings yet and we have been home about 5 hrs. I dont think she will make it through the night. She feels quite warm and I've had her under a heat lamp but she seems to be shivering a bit. There is no blood in her poop but I have given her some water with sugar and coccivet just in case of coccidiosis. She does seem to have quite a firm lump near her crop but as she's so tiny I don't know if that is perhaps her bones? I'm new to this and have not had much luck with young chicks so far :(.
