Help with chick

[Chicken teen618]

I got my checks in the mail today and all of them seem fine except one who isn’t walking around like the others he’ll get up for a few steps and then lay back down. Not sure if he’s just sleeping from the Long ride and enjoying the heat or if somethings wrong?

Meant to say chicks.

You could try giving him some sugar water or egg yolk and see if that would perk him up.

What’s the quantity of sugar water

What’s the quantity of sugar water

You can do a teaspoon of sugar in a quart of water, you can try dipping the chicks beak or syringe feeding it if it won't drink. Note that sugar water is only used as an hourly thing and it isn't good to give it to the chick over several days as it can lead to pasty butt. Sav-a-chick is an electrolyte supplement that would also help the baby, if you have it it would be good to also give it some of that.

I’m buying the save a chick. I’m pretty worried about her she’s not eating and won’t drink unless I help her.

I've had much better luck with nutridrench. Just give a drop in the mouth. You can repeat every 10 hrs if necessary. I look put it in the water for the first 2 weeks. One of my chicks ws almost died this morning,gave her some md she's now scratching around the brooder. Still a bit wobby so I may need to repeat but much better.

Might want to try nutri-drench if you can get it and give chick a few drops per day it gets in their systems almost immediately. You can add it to the water also. Save a chick works also just not as fast.
