I have one like this a bought just 2 hours ago. Feed egg yolk but I unfortunately don't think it will stick around all we can do is try. How is yours doing now?

Not well she was doing MUCH better earlier i will try egg yolks though as well thank you so much! How long do you think i should wait? I just gave her nutri drench and pedialite about maybe 20ish minutes ago i just dont want yk overload her

I’ve tried warming frozen corn in pedialite too-I hope they get better. I squish it and feed it to them.

Yes but i have noticed her and 2 others now who have started closing one/both eyes. They all find food and water and ive been cleaning their eyes with water and q-tips and it seems to be working for a bit but then they go back to 1 or both eyes closed again. my girl in this post originally has started doing a bit worse much more lethargic now. I just gave her a little bit more of the nutri drench and pedialite. Ive read all kinds of things and i dont know what to think. Maybe gape worms? Maybe respiratory infection? I have absolutly no clue but i want nothing more right now than to make them okay again

Extremely unlikely that newly hatched chicks have parasites, infections, etc.

Can you post a photo of your brooder? What are you feeding them, what are the temperatures (warm and cool) in the brooder?

Yes! I dont have a thermomwter in there right now but i will put one in for the hot side there is abside for them to go if it gets too hot as well. Ive been hsing towels instead of the bedding because i thought maybe theybwere eating it? Weve been feeding them chicks start grower (country road brand) i had 4 from tcs and they were completely healthy i now have 3 from rural king and they are all in the same condition the first one was yesterday and shes only just a little bit better. I have thoes three separated for right now although if it is parasites/infection im sure its too late to stop the spread.. i would just need to know what to treat for. Do you have any idea? Do you think its my box? Ive raised 2 other sets of chicks and ducks like this no problem im not sure whats going on now. Thank you!

This is the state of the 3 chicks. The one on the left is the first to get sick the other two happened last night. They are all alive, opening and closing mouths but just laying there.

Wow i did NOT realize how sucky my grammar and spelling im so sorry i was in a rush this morning to get my boyfriend off to work but i wanted to post in here as soon as possible when i saw that two more had been so sick. Weve lost 2 of the 3 today. Surprisingly the first one is still kicking but just barely.

Sorry for the losses, since you said you've successfully raised other chicks in the same set up I'm not sure what else to recommend. Um, is the food is fresh (check mill date) and has no mold or off color/odor?
