Help! Back Chick Is Sick!

[ten chicks]

So here is my next question; She is still hanging in there, and I am on day 4 of Corid treatments, but she is still very weak and barely eating or drinking. I'm not afraid to give her drops of water with the Corid in it, via a dropper, but what can I do about her diet? She eats a little maybe 4 times a day, and she is so much smaller than her clutch mates. She drags her wings and barely walks or moves, except for those few times a day that she eats and drinks. If I can't give her the vitamins while she is on Corid, can I make some kinda thin slurry and dropper feed her a bit? If so how do I properly do that? I don't want to make her choke or anything. Should I treat with the Corid for an extra day or two? What else can I do to ensure she gets better?

Yes,you can extend Corid to 7 days. Try adding warm water to her feed so it resembles oatmeal,chicks love this and is easier for frail ones to eat. Also give her scrambled egg,loaded in vitamins and minerals.

Thank you for your help, at least I know what to do next time.
