I don’t know if this matters but Mira can’t preen.

It might be because of the scab on her neck.

Yeah I thought so.

I would use either b complex or the NutriDrench. Whip an egg and give a little daily for selenium. Vitamin E 400 IU softgels can be given orally or pierced and given into the beak daily.

Some of you might know about my baby Mira who got hurt on her neck. She was doing well and we went away yesterday morning and just came home and she can’t walk right. I’m not sure if she was eating or drinking but she had plenty of water and food and the temperature seemed fine. I gave her some wet oatmeal, egg yoke and dripped some water on her beak since she won’t drink by herself. She walks backwards and she almost seems hunched over I’ll try to post a video and I will grab some pictures. Do baby chicks who are by themselves get lonely and stop eating and drinking if they think they are abandoned?

Is she able to eat chick starter?

Is she able to eat chick starter?

Yeah I have been wetting it but I’ve never used this food before and I think she is picking out the little pieces of corn. I am about to pick up the chick starter I raised most of my chicks on. I’m not sure how much she has been eating.

Her body almost seems twisted and she is really struggling to even stay on her own two feet.

A mixed loose feed like that, sometimes chicks will pick out just pieces they like. She would need grit (crushed granite) available free choice for a feed like that too.

Good idea to get the chick starter crumbles for now, try making it into a wet mash and see if she's able to eat that a little more easily.

Sorry she's twisting, get the Vitamins into her and see how it goes.

Got her NutriDrench and put it in her water and also gave her a drop plain like it said I could do for quick response. Also used a medicine dropper to drop water on her beak which she drank. Thank you everyone for all your help!

 

[Farmgirl283420]

She’s not doing good she won’t eat or drink I’ve been using a medicine dropper to give her some water but feeding her is a lot harder. How can I make her eat? I’m afraid she’s going to starve and even with me giving her water I’m not sure how much she is getting. She is mostly keeping her eyes closed and won’t or can’t lay down so she sleeps standing up.
