My sister recently brought home for chicks, they were all doing fine till a few hours ago. One of the chicks isn't able to stand up, and can barely open its eyes. There's some poop stuck to her bum.

And I'm not sure how to help her properly. Does anyone have any suggestions??



Edit: I cleaned her bum off in warm water and dried her off, she immediately tried to stand up, she lurched forward (I caught her before she hurt herself)

She's determined to stand, but she doesn't seem able to keep weight on her left leg or keep her head up. Her eyes still won't open

She's still breathing and is peeping every now an again.


I'm growing worried for her, idk what else to do.

Soak her bum in warm water to get the poop off, she has pasty butt and is blocked up.
I cleaned her bum and dried her off, but there might be something wrong with her one leg, it doesn't look like she can hold any weight on it at all
 
She is probably just weak and as soon as she has rested and she has some food and water in her, she will be back to normal.
