help!!!! chick struggling to breath and not moving much

Please try to monitor his droppings, too.
I hope he gains his strength back. I assume you also check for pasty butt and external injuries.

There was some runny poop in the brooder but I don’t know who’s it was. I did check him for pasty butt. He had some poop stuck but it was not enough to prevent him from pooping all together I don’t think. still I cleaned it completely when. First found him laying there.
if you find runny poop what should you do?

He did poop!

Sorry you lost it Some are just weak. I’m holding a guinea keet who isn’t thriving currently. It’s a bummer, but you can focus on the ones that are healthy and well now.

I'm so sorry to hear you lost him. I recently lost one I was trying to keep alive too. Its a real bummer. I'm glad all the others are happy and healthy

i certainly will. it makes them seem even more precious. Seeing how fragile they truly are. They were all fine this morning and then just went downhill in a hurry. I have 8 left to love and enjoy. Best of luck with your Guinea!!

It is a bummer but I tried everything I could.
if anyone can comment on his poop I would still appreciate it so I know if it ever happens again? It was definitely not normal being soft like that. Is that an indication of something in particular?
