i think my chick is sick

[humo]

hi, i have 5 chicks , 3 of them are perfectly fine. 1 grew alot since its older than the oders. the oder 2 are 3 days old and seem to be fine. 1 died yesterday, it could walk and didnt eat. one chick is smaller than the oders , it looses balance a lot and doesnt realy eat and its sleepy all the time. it looks like it got hicups. it searches for place to rest her head. It is lighter than the others and doesnt really strugle when i pic her up. the first day she was following me the oters also. but now the chick doesnt really follow me anymore. is it okay ?is something wrong with her? please help me!

Did you check it's backside to make sure it doesn't have dried poop clogging it's vent?

How old is this chick? Have you tried to get it to eat and drink?

 

[humo]

Hello and welcome to BYC!

I am sorry you are having trouble and losses. Do you have heat on your chicks? If so, what temp is it on the floor? It should be about 88°F. Do they know where the food and water are? Sometimes you have to crush the food if the crumble is too big for them to eat. Definitely a photo of your set up will help us.
