So nice to meet you, Jo. I am so sorry about your Cady chick. Try JanieDoe's suggestion, but keep in mind CallenderGirl's wise comment that some chicks die despite the very best care. Best wishes for all your plans!

The electrolytes do seem to be pepping her up a bit. She spent about 10 minutes playing a little bit and hopping around, which is the first time I’ve ever really seen her do that since we brought her home Wednesday. She also jumped into the feeder and ate happily for a few minutes. I scooped her up and removed a little pasting in warm water, and then she went back to sleep under the warmer right after, despite all the others having a busy morning around her. But I have a scintilla of hope now.
I have so much to learn. They aren’t vaccinated, and they’re on medicated chick starter occasionally moistened with a little electrolyte water but I have no idea if I’m doing the right things! Glad to be here and have all of you wonderful people as resources!
