I dont hink he got enough water over the weekend. Im not sure if its a boy or girl. It was probably born Friday. There are 2 more with pasty butts. His eyes are closed and we got him to drink somehting, but he cant stand up. Hes moving and breathing. Please help!

get it some sugar water should bring it around real fast.

 

[ChickLover98]

Ok. Sugar water... How much sugar? We're getting him to drink out of the botton of a plastic cup that we cut.

 

[Miss Lydia]

I'm not sure just heard it helps to bring them around, try 1 teaspoon dissolved in a half cup of water. this isn't something your going to keep it on anyway just trying to get it 's blood sugar stable..

 

[ChickLover98]

Ok. He cant really hold his head up or stand. He kicks around and opens his mouth.

 

[Miss Lydia]

can you find a dropper? make sure it's clean then put the sugar water into it and dribble it on the side of the chicks beak where the mouth opens, you'll get some in.

 

[Miss Lydia]

What happened? is he going to be okay?
