I would lower the heat at least 80 if they are 3 weeks old. Offer water, and try to get her eating. Adding water to the food sometimes is attractive to get them eating. Look for any runny deoppings, standing around hunched or puffed up, or acting sleepy. Those can be signs of coccidiosis, and Corid from your feed store can treat that. Dosage is 1/4 tsp per quart waterer (2 tspper gallon) for 5-7 days. It is safe to treat all chicks with Corid.

Ok I will look into that thankyou I lowered temp and I’ll try the wet food and see what happens

I think @Kiki is right. Definitely get rid of the treats. I don't think they are able to digest those. When they eat anything other than chick feed they need grit. But for a couple of more weeks they should just have starter.

Ok I took it away luckily they didn’t have much interest in it anyway. But I’ll be sure to just stick to the starter until they are older.

Did you feel for swelling or tenderness (in case the screen hit her)? Is she walking at all?

 

[janiedoe]

Fyi; I'm sure she is a cuckoo marans, not a barred rock. (Pink legs)
I hope she improves.

Yes and she does try to walk she just wobbles. Yes I checked for swelling and any breaks didn’t feel anything the screen is actually the green plastic mesh you covered shadows box i placed it on top and now I secured it so it can’t fall in anymore

Ya I knew she was one or the other I couldn’t remember which was which they look very similar

Maybe you should switch feed. One of the symptoms they list is weakness of the legs.

The sugar water will help her get some nutrition until she feels better and can eat the food

She has the little white spot on top of her head and the dark coloring on front of her legs, just like a barred rock female. Looks like some faintbarring too.

Are you using a vitamin with riboflavin on the label? In the picture, the way she is sitting on her hocks, I would treat for riboflavin deficiency with vitamin B 2 riboflavin. Are her toes culed under? Poultry NutriDrench does not have riboflavin but many other chick vitamins do.
