Help! One of my baby chicks is so weak!

[KaleDaDuck]

So i incubated 2 precious eggs i recieved from my beautiful chickens.. And thus two amazing baby chicks appeared.. But there is a problem one of the baby chicks is so weak i had to hatch it out myself..(didn't bleed) it was all normal i let them dry and put them in a warm place.. But the first chick is eating well and running and drinking while the other one is so weak and sleeps almost all the time.. I have to feed it and drink it myself.. It has problems while moving too please help i already gave it sugar and water but all she does is fall in the water.. Please help its that chick in the corner.

Slow hatching/weak chicks frequently expend a lot of energy during the hatching process. Keep it warm, hydrated, vitamins are a good idea and hope for the best. Sometimes they rally after a day or so, and sadly sometimes they die. Good luck.

Your little chick may not make it. It likely wouldn't have made it this far without your help.

As you've observed, it's too weak to drink on its own. You do need to continue infusions of warm, not cold, sugar water. Use a slender oral syringe and put a couple of drops of sugar water at a time into the right side of its beak. If you can get some Poultry Nutri-drench to add to the water, that will increase the chick's survival chances.

You need to keep this up until the chick is strong enough to drink on its own.

Possibly still absorbing its yolk. Stop forcing it to consume anything. They aspirate if not ready to eat.

Why does this happen to me ill try my best she is two days old by the way and ive noticed that she is shivering even under a heat source.. Im worried..

Well yes. If you stop trying to force her she can live 3 to 4 days after hatch without food.?

Have you checked the temperature beneath the heat source ? It may not be warm enough.
, but it happens to all of us sooner or later.

I'd stop adding anything to the water. Sprinkle the feed on the floor plus in the feeder.
Let it sleep. Sadly some won't make it. Nothing you did wrong it's something internally wrong with the Chicks.

The temperature is controlled by a controller at a steady 38 degrees..
