HELP! 5 day old Brahma with clear, watery poop

[chickie-is-obsessed]

One of my little guys is standing by himself with his eyes closed and he just had a clear, water-like poop. What should I do?

Chicken poop goes through many stages during the day. Is it ALWAYS runny and white? Because that is normal for one poop, then the next will be green and solid, then green and runny, etc.

A clear, water like stool suggests he's not getting enough to eat. Try taking him aside and offering him a meal of chopped hard boiled egg.

This chick's crop is full of food. I think it's a gonner this morning

I tried giving it some water with sugar in it and I had to force it to drink some. When I found it this morning it was at the end of the brooder that doesn't have the light and it didn't feel warm. I am sure it isn't going to make it...I hope this will be the only one I lose.

5 days old and not near heat source and crop full. it might need a litte heat. the chick is to young to be without heat very long
