Help with chick!!!!!

[Toshi]

My little EE chick has not been doing well at all. I got her saturday and she still have not recovered from the shipping. I gave her Save a chick in some water. But after she got done drinking she threw a clear thing up, i think it was the water. She has only eaten once as i have seen, and drank a few times since i have had her. Most the time she lays in the corner close tot he heat lamp. The others normally have nothing to do with her. I don't know what else i can do for her! Any ideas? i have never had a chick who didn't do well after shipping like this!

Quick replies would be great!

Unfortunately, I've had nearly 30 chicks that acted like this, after shipping. I haven't figured a way out to save even one. Once they were acting lethargic, they left soon after. It is a good sign that she has been eating and drinking on her own though.

Try Nutri-Drench, I hope she perks up for you.

well she is not eating nor drinking on her own thats the thing, to give her water i had to make her drink a bit with an eye dropper. She only eaten once and that was not even enough she had a few crumbles that was it.

Update: Every time i try and give her water with an eyedropper she is ok with it, drinking a bit at a time, but she will not eat! I have tried to give it to her like a mash and she still will not. If i put it on her beak a bit she shakes it away!

Maybe some sugar water. She needs calories for some energy. One of mine needed to drink once and I took a tsp and dribbled it on the side of the beak, kinda where it opens. And she started to lick it up.

Even if i gave her Save-A-Chick?

Update: I started to give her save a chick four hours ago roughly. she is slowly acting better. Slowly, she is standing more, but she stil will not eat. Next hour when i need to give her more, i will give her a bit of sugar water as well.
