HELP CHICK IS DYING!!!!!!

[OreoPlymothRock]

Please help! My chick is dying, 2 of her sisters were found dead right now. We think they died of heat and dehydration. How do I help it? She is kind of sleepy and dozy. We are giving her water and she is tilting her head back and then falling asleep. HELP!

You need a Electrolyte in the water even Gatorade can work ...

How old is the chick ??

 

[OreoPlymothRock]

she is fully feathered, 5 wks as of today. I have ElectroMix, it contains Calcium, Potassium, Chromium, Magnesium, and Manganese. Is that good?

The dead ones had some yellow drool coming out. The Live chick is throwing up sticky white mucus.

Use an eye dropper to put some water in her beak ...

By the way if you let her sleep she might go into shock ...

 

[OreoPlymothRock]

She is still not getting better. HELP!

Can my chick sleep, she keeps falling asleep and closing her eyes.

 

[gander007]

Well if you do she might go so check on her every once in awhile
by waking her up to make sure she is still with you ....

Was heat lamp to close in the brooder? it happened to me years ago? I set the heat lamp in the morning for the right temp in our attached garage and didn't realize that the garage got to 100 degrees inside by 2:00 all my chicks expired. I was so upset I decided never to use a heat lamp again.
