Keep her comfy and warm, is this one that you recently hatched or bought? Do you have it in a broder with heat at 100, and food and water? Need a little more info......

Have you seen her eat and drink prior to her being sick? You said you have her on a heating pad....is she in a brooder/box with a heat lamp? s/he will need a temp in the brooder, of at least 95 degrees. The only problem with a heating pad is that the chick will not be able to get away from the heat, if it is too warm. Is this a lone chick?? If not, is it the only one acting this way? I DO hope s/he pulls through. Keep us posted.

no theres 2 that hatched....she was eating and drinking fine....but when i found her on her back this morning is when it turned weird and i thought she was gonna die...i helped her expell some liquid from her lungs...right now... shes sleepin she gets up sometimes but shes wobbly.. were gonna give her vitamins when they get here in a few mins. the other chick is happy and healthy...the sick one is peeping still... she drank a little and ate some mash/water in a eye dropper.
