Hello, your poor little chick sounds like it is in real trouble. Epsom salts are only used as a flush when you suspect toxins , so I would cease the salts. You may need to get some antibiotics in the water if there are clear fluids coming from the eyes and nostrils. They need heat at this age but especially when they are under par. Some ' save a chick ' in the water will help with electrolytes and essential vitamins. A little milk or yoghurt will help to put the lining back in its stomach .
