it body is warm maybe because of the heater but I’m tryna to move it every 2-3 minutes to it other side so it doesn’t get to hot but it cry’s when u touch it body

The chick could need some fluids. Do keep it warm. Help it drink. Force feed it water very slowly, just a little at a time. You do this by holding it upright and avoiding it's little nostrils. If you have some watermelon or gatorade, add them to it's water. these things have electrolytes which will help it rehydrate. If it's cries are stronger than before, the heater is helping!

When you bought this chick, did you get care instructions with it? Every place around here that sells chicks commercially gives out instructions. #1 on the list is keeping them warm. 95 degrees for the first week. Also, they won't let you buy just one because it's not healthy for the chick. They belong in a flock. You need some kind of brooder plate or heat lamp. Warm towels and water bottles won't cut it. They won't eat or drink like they should if they are cold, and will soon die.

Honey I know this is scary but you can do it. Your baby is cold, lonely, and scared. It NEEDS you right now. You got this ok?

Yes! A pipette works well too, they have such a tiny tip they work so well. I just last week used one to revive one of our button quail that had gotten chilled during the process of being removed from it's egg. I fed it a warm banana, gatorade, egg yolk and water mixture, tiny drops at a time. I found that a soaked q tip rubbed against the corner of the chicks beak can encourage it to open its mouth back up.

Did want to mention electrolytes.. You did good.

Thanks. It was a lot of care! The little guy is the one that is smaller than the other quail but now just as energetic. I believe OP can do it, as long as she keeps at it! If I can keep one of these tiny things from subcumbing, surely OPs chick has a fighting chance. At the very least, we can give as much support as we can, whatever the outcome may be.

take some socks and fill them up with rice and pop em in the microwave for less than a minute and then wrap them with another sock so ur baby won’t burn herself, place her in between, like others said electrolytes are important, if you don’t have any you could look up some quick recipe or make sugar water

You

You got this, hold the chick close to you while you breathe on it, right on to it's body over and over. Touch your lips to it's legs, if his legs feel cold you are not done warming this chick up. Keep going. Turn on a heater and sit right next to it while you work to help your chick.

it body is warm maybe because of the heater
