She’s doing a lot better thank you but still has a lot of weight To gain , she’s so skinny’s . Any tips on fattening her up ? She loves her apple , spinach recipe and blueberry baby food . Has access to that, medicated chick stater and obviously lots of water .

Boiled egg or tofu would be better foods apart from her chick feed than the greens and fruits if you want to maximize her caloric intake.

Good to hear she's doing better.

Little chick is down again . Very sad . She bounced back for a day or 2 but I feel like I’m gonna lose her tonight. SHes right back where she started. Very lethargic, little balance, no Care to eat or drink and slightly gasping with each breath. I noticed some weird body movements and actions As well as her spitting up some clear mucous . Its very unlikely she has aspirated water as she’s only been drinking it on her own . Only thing I forced her to take was the coconut oil . She was a normal chick for at least 24 hours after that but I think I wasn’t very wrong in the first place and am now wondering if she was just so skinny I mistook her breast bone as her crop . I know im an idiot. But she did bounce back and. Was eating and drinking Andy perching .
I feel like this may be brooder pneumonia . .Or I’m way off again .
Very disappointed I couldn’t do better by her .

Your chick likely had genetic issues and there really wasn't anything you did wrong or that you could have done to make a happier outcome. Please don't be hard on yourself. It's enough to have to endure the grief over losing the tiny one.
