Help. Chicken won't open eyes or stand.

@ChickenCanoe we'e been feeding them wrong all along. Found out early this morning all there food is is scratch grains. Nothing else aside from what they pack in the yard

There may be something else wrong but I would expect 11 week old birds eating nothing but scratch grains their whole life to be in pretty poor condition and health with stunted growth.
Chickens are omnivores, not strictly seed eaters.
And whatever is wrong, was likely made easier for the ailment to take hold because of the lack of essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
This is what it says on the bag of scratch grains from TSC
Feeding Instructions:
Feed Nature's Best Organic Poultry Scratch Grains to adult poultry to supplement a complete poultry diet.
Nature's Best Organic Poultry Scratch Grains should be fed in addition to a complete feed and should not exceed 10% of the bird's total diet.
Provide fresh, clean water at all times.

Note that the instructions say to offer to adult poultry - not chicks.

For your sick bird, as was said earlier, I would try to get some Nutri-Drench immediately. Tractor Supply carries it in 4 oz. containers. It will be the most rapid way to deliver the vitamins, minerals and amino acids that she has been missing. It has molasses for energy plus lysine and methionine (the very amino acids that are missing in scratch grains).
At the same time, get some real starter/grower feed for the other birds and cut out the scratch grains entirely till they are fully grown. (I wouldn't feed any scratch to those birds for at least 6 months).
If your sick bird recovers, the starter feed would help her a lot.

Are you okay? Is your husband there with you?
, I don't think there is much you can do at this point. If she can't hold her head up it means she probably can't swallow, so you shouldn't try dripping fluids into her mouth.

 

[Dnonya]

She's gone guys. Thank you all for the advice.

I'l be ok. Not use to watching pets die. She was my favorite of the 6.

So sorry, I know how you feel. .

 

[ChickenCanoe]

That's too bad. I would still get the nutri-drench and put it in the other chicks' water for a couple days and weekly thereafter to supplement the starter/grower feed at the dosage on the label.
For birds over 6 weeks it says .25 oz. per gallon of water but that's assuming properly fed birds so I'd probably give about an ounce per gallon for the next couple days and then the recommended amount thereafter.

@ChickenCanoe they ate the starter stuff up until about 3 weeks or a month ago when we moved them to their new coop in the yard. We ran out as we got the coop and he picked that up and we didnt know any better. Thought that was the adult food. As stupid as it sounds now. But I'm going in a bit to get the meds for the water for the rest of the birds and some food. Now that I know we did every thing wrong this death hits me harder cuz basically it was my fault for not knowing enough.

So sorry that you lost her. I doubt that she died as a result of the changed feed for such a short time, but good that you discovered it in time to help the others develop normally. Watch for any other signs of coccidiosis (runny or bloody droppings, standing around puffed up or off to themselves and sleepy, lethargy, weakness, or ruffled feathers.

@Dnonya don't beat yourself up, my sister and I got our 6 girls this spring and we thought pullets meant that they were all grown up, not still "chicks"! We started them on laying feed right off and a month or so later, my sister's favorite, a GLW died mysteriously. Coming on here, I found out they should've been eating chick starter. Yes, we feel guilty and it does hurt but now so far our 5 other girls are healthy and happy. I'm sorry about your girl's passing, I know it never gets easier.
