Help! My chick is acting weird!

[ChickensAreEpic123]

It’s been closing it’s eyes and I think sleeping for hours while al other other chicks are playing around and she’s not active at all she looks extremely tired and is all puffed up I’m really scared what should I do?

It would be best to get her started on Corid 9.6% liquid solution, let the other chicks drink it as well. Dosage is 10ml per gallon of water for 5 days. You can cut the dosage and water in half if you wish. You might have to use an eyedropper to give it to the sick chick, a couple of drops on the side of her beak to drink. Do not add anything else to the mixture and make it fresh each day. Do not give the chick anything that contains thiamine.

How old is the chick? Can you offer some water with electrolytes? What do her droppings look like? If she is 2 weeks or older, and acting this way I would get some Corid and treat for coccidiosis.

6 days old

Ensure waterers and feeders are feces free. Also remove soiled bedding often.
I'd get her started on Corid immediately, depending what strain it is, coccidiosis can take down a chick quickly.

My 6 month old female Americana is doing the same thing. She is lethargic also. We thought maybe she was egg bound. She started doing a little better after we started the Epson salt soaks and calcium and seperated her from the others but she is still acting weird and not herself. I'm very worried.

And if I decide to put her other then her pen she decides to go crazy walks around and tried to jump on my hand
