Hi and welcome

You can get various chicken treatment products (including electrolytes, probiotics, vitamins, etc) at TSC or any other "farm store"

Is the movement of the chicks head slow or frantic/swinging wildly? Is the chick eating and drinking?

As you got the chicks from TSC you actually have Easter Eggers rather than Ameraucanas -- unfortunately it is common for hatcheries to sell them under the incorrect name, and the retailer just goes by what they are told, so it's a common thing to have happen. EE are a mixed breed chicken that has either Araucana or Ameraucana as part of that mix so that they *may* have the blue egg gene (they lay blue, green, brown or even pink tinted eggs)

yes they are Baby Chicks and they not American since they came from TSC they are Easter Egger Chicks. But the Chick is not drinking or eating its food so to be able to get the Save-A-Chick it would have to be pick up and given to it by me putting it Beak in the water or food.

This is what I have to use on the bigger chickens but on chicks
I have to use an eye dropper but clean it out really good first if
it was used in something else .....
