Thanks everyone. I do think it is too young to be egg bound. Definitely around 15 weeks old. But, thanks for the thought. I am currently just trying to get some water and electrolytes into it. It is still standing up, and some of the water drips out, but some is getting in. Before it was laying on its side, so that is a small improvement. My plan is to do that and see if I can perk it up a bit. Then, if I can get it back, I will treat for Cocci or worms, and I'm not sure which to go with. I probably can't treat for both at the same time, right? I do wonder if it is really either one of them, but need to try something. One thing I did notice, is that the top of its beak is a lot longer and curved over the bottom of its beak. I wonder if it is having trouble eating because of this. If I can get it to perk up, I may try to trim that back, to see if that helps. Everyone else seems very healthy. In the meantime, I am working on building their coop, to get them outside. They are in a kennel in my garage right now, and I move them outside on the grass everyday. It is a lot of work, but it is well worth it. I really don't want to lose this chick. I'm tempted to just try everything, but can't overwhelm it with help either. It is so hard to be patient. And, it is really scary trying to decide which strategy to go with. I like the idea of the poly vi sol and other goodies too. Which do I go with? worms, cocci (no blood in any of their poo at all), or vitamins and nutrients? Or do I do the beak trim? Can I treat for multiple things at once?
